Nice balanced, savoury-ish, gentle tannin. Kept looking for the finish and grunt of the 1er but alas, not there. But at half the price I can't complain :)

Got better given some air, so go at it now with big glasses/decant if you can't wait. Beautiful mouthfeel with satin like texture with a just a gentle tug of tannin. Decent length to the wine too

Good value at $20. One more so for the cellar, rather than drinking right away. Definitely needs time to open up if drinking now. Lacks fruit on palate and has adequate structure. In short; $20 well spent but maybe better to see what becomes of it over a few years.

Surprisingly good for a cheap pinot. Good texture and a sense of depth. Seems to lack complexity at first, but opens up after an hour or two. Should improve with time. Great find!
