Stephen Tanzer (Vinous) 87 — noted as ripe, liqueur-like with plum and chocolate aromas and slightly drying tannins (2007 review)

Medium-bodied Pinot Noir with red cherry, plum, redcurrant, cocoa and earthy mushroom notes; hints of tobacco and spice, firm but silky tannins and a slightly savory, lingering finish.

Hand-harvested fruit; cool pre-fermentation maceration, mostly destemmed, spontaneous yeast fermentation, gentle remontage/punchdowns; aged 15–18 months in French oak (≈20–30% new).
