Tough and gritty in youth, this Pinot is quite tannic, giving it a mouthfeel that resists immediate pleasure. However, it's dry, silky and elegant, with a rich core of cherries, minerals, cola, sweet Provençal herbs and sandalwood. It's a fine wine that needs time in the cellar, perhaps as much as a decade. The score reflects its potential.
