Such are the tannins on this bone-dry Pinot Noir that it feels astringent and rustic now. That's despite a deep, sweetly ripe core of blackberries and currants. It's certainly a big wine, packing in enough power for two wines, but lacking somewhat in delicacy and finesse. Give this brooding wine a good, long decant. Could come around after eight years or so in the bottle.
