This is an energetic, electric Pinot Noir that is way too young to drink now. It deserves at least 2-3 years to settle down and mellow and fill out, but make no mistake, it's really nice right now if you like your PNs zingy and youthful.Bright, crystalline dark ruby. Piercing nose of crisp, tangy, ripe cherries, stony minerals, brown sugar, and a whiff of fruitcake. An intense, linear streak of minerally cherries with a hint of dry barnyard gravel hits the palate immediately. There's a bit of tannin and zesty acids to keep the vigorous sensations going. Long, lean, clean finish. Very, very good. An A- now, this has the potential to be an "A" in 3-5 years. Was $26.99 from WTSO.com, making it a bargain for a premier cru Beaune of this quality! Imported by MHW, Ltd., Manhasset, NY.
