This is quite interesting Pinot Noir. It feels a bit rustic at this stage and nowhere that elegant one would suggest from Pinot Noir. Very dark in color and very tannic at this stage, however huge fruit is there so this wine would really need 3-5 years in the cellar to be drinkable. There is a whole case of this wine in my cellar, so the next bottle will be opened in 1 year time:-). For detail of the bottle check my previous tastings of the same wine in January 22, 2014.
