(a monopole of the domaine). There is generous wood toast on the otherwise pretty, spicy and fresh nose of cool red pinot fruit aromas. The delicious and attractively textured medium-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate concentration along with fine length on the mouth coating finish. This is a very nice effort in terms of its balance and density but it’s carrying more wood influence than I can personally warm up to as it sweetens and rounds off the finish somewhat. (88-91)/2017+
