The second bottle was given away as a gift. Not my first choice, but he is a Pinot Noir fan and wanted a bottle and this was the only Pinot Noir I had on hand at the time.
Tasting Notes:
Ruby redish with violet hues showing a bit of youth. Minerals, spices and a splash of red fruit on the nose. Plum rind, florals, and allspice fill out the juicy flavors with a medium finish. Strong acidity that requires decanting to soften.
Final Thoughts:
With some age, I believe this could can be much better. Decanting is an absolute must. You will be punch-drunk by the acidity if you do not. Within 30 minutes, the wine opens and burns off the extreme acidity.
