A beautifully aromatic wine, with strawberry, cherry, sweet spices and violet on the nose. Unfortunately this is where the good news ends; this Pinot Noir mouthfeel is thin with sour fruit, racy acidity and puckering tannins. This wine finish is long, tart and spicy. This is not a balanced wine in my book, not enough fruit to balance the high acidity and tannins. Over time the tannins will soften up, but it is hard for me to think that this wine will get any better.
This wine was purchased April 2, 2011, LCBO New Release at $17.95
