On the nose, this demonstrates the floral quality of a great Pinot, but I'm a little concerned about the jamminess of the black raspberry and black currant. And those extracted fruits really come through on the palate in an assertive way, where all the floral and earthy qualities of a good Pinot get masked beneath its fruit-forward style. July 27, 2007
