This was the last botlle of the tasting and clearly the best. Not only for me, it also won the tasting. It was very elegant, nicely matured, velvety in the mouth and pleasure to drink it. Somehow I am lucky with Pinots, because it was brought by me and last time we did the same tasting Anakena Pinot Single Vineyard brough by me did also win :). On the label it is recommended to store it fr 2 -4 years, but probably given the crew cap where the wine ages much slower it was fabulous after 6 years of aging.
