Vintage: 2008
Alcohol content: 13.0%
Color: lighter to medium red with garnet meniscus
Bouquet: wild sour cherries, forest strawberries, pink grapefruit, fresh cut wood crust, but not near what would expect from wine that aged 18 months on new oak, the nose suggest the oak is not French rather Slovenian (the label does not say), which has very different profile (I may be wrong). What I would bet that the oak was definitely not toasted

Taste: medium body, similar to nose there is red currant, small wild sour cherries, less of the delicate profile of forest strawberries, which appear a bit in the nose, higher acidity, pretty straightforward with no further complexity, medium finish
Recommended food pairing: pork
Overall score: 4+6+11+5+6=83
Price: CZK 190
Stopper: single piece cork
THis was the 2 bottles addendum to my 6 case of Andre 2009 that I ordered based on the very good tasting experience. As i like Pinot Noir very much and the description on the web looked fine I got 2 bottles. Good I did not get more as the wine is just OK for the price, it is not bad at all, but I am getting a bit of spoiled of how proper Pinot should profile itself:-)
