Fresh and bright. Full gas tannins. But these lighten up after 30 min in decanter. Tight but expressive nose. It gives Pinot but special. I’d buy more — 31 minutes ago

Brilliant showing. Brambly red cherries and red berries. Loads of spice and Alpine charm. Fresh grasses, flowers and more. Frankly amazing spice. Palate is fresh and teeming with energy. Opulent and juicy but tense. Generous but electric. A terrific showing. Even better on day 2 with soaring aromas and unreal juiciness. — 5 months ago

Have not had since the estate and wow this is insane. Unreal spice and mineral force. Overwhelming aromas and stunning wet earth. The gout de terroir is unreal. The decadence yet restraint is unreal. I could smell all day. Cherries on cherries on cherries. Cranberry bog, some light red currants. Just insane. Unreal finesse. Wow! Huge fruit soak and density. Massive structure and so pure. This always needs air and wow will this come alive after some air. Just stunning. 9.6 out of the gates. This got amazing after 2-3 hours and was all silk and satin with squeegee levels of red and black cherry fruit. I bet it will be even better tonight. — 6 months ago

Outrageous entry level Pinot Noir. Just crazy nose. The most lithe, elegant, detailed red cherry ever. A hint of dried cherry. Roses. Wow. Swiss alpine spice and green. Alpine meadow. 9.7 nose. Yowza. Palate is razor sharp with gorgeous, elegant tannins, that just short of sweet fruit thing Adank has mastered and an awesome mineral finish. Unreal stuff. — 23 days ago

Gorgeous and plump. Haven’t had since barrel. Like a Pomerol. White chocolate, red berry, pepper and a hint of gorgeous swiss florals and herbals. Palate is so plump, juicy and super fresh. Just incisive and clear plummy fed fruit and so much mineral freshness. Clearly leads some air but just a stunningly complex wine. — 5 months ago

Full range of cherry from red to black, roses; after 1 hour in the decanter it developed an interesting, smoky character. Fantastic — 10 days ago

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Nose is so round and luminous. Black, red cherry, spice, spicey oak, so complex and deep. The palate is just stunning. Soft and viscous with gorgeous satin like texture and juuuuuust short of sweet fruit and a bitter white chocolate note but finishes luscious and mineral. Terrific inner mouth aromas and such gorgeous delicate concentration and such fine tannins. Can’t wait to see what air does. So silky and sweet with air. Unreal texture. So elegant and just awesome fruit. Juicy and so clean. Mineral finish and such fine tannin. — 2 months ago

Intense powdered minerals. Lemon flower. Complex.

Palate: intense precise lemon. Razor sharp minerals. Salty An unusual element on the finish.

Lyle is right. Brioche is very precise.
