Tasting notes

Red colour. Pretty nose. Floral, tobacco, some tar, autumn leafs. Slight rasberries. Fullbodied pinot noir in the mouth. Yet tight and structured. Quite complex and fine fruit. Very typical with tobaccoish, tar-elements mixed with florality and rasberries. Very good, but could perhaps have had a little more intensity - considering the price and origin. Quite transparent. Fine acidity. Tight and tannic finish. Great pinot noir on grand cru-level. Still a little on the young side. Maybe the extra intensity will come with another 3-5 years of age.
