Deep salmon pink. Oak. Woody. Slight Strawberry. Fresh. Red flower. Feel sweetness, richness (enough bodied), then acidic. Clove. Also raspberry. Tasty. Marsannay Rose Pinot Noir Bruno Clair 22 @4708, Toscan, 250727-250810 — a month ago
Beautiful Bordeaux, smooth — 3 months ago
Close to pop and pour. Not juicy, but lots of red fruit — strawberry, raspberry, cherry (the pits). Also plum. Some leather. Minerals and clay. A little violet. Dried rose petals. Still has some grip — plum-skin-like. Acidity balances it all very nicely. Really good. 92. — 4 months ago
