i like the colour: rusty crimson getting into light brown like in best bottles from bordeaux.
i like the nose: spicy, ripe fruits, earthy.
very dry. with strong, very strong tannins. light.
in mouth classical strawberry and cherry stuff, oak and leather.

Wow, what a nose! A hint of flowers, then earthiness, with a sharp tartness. Lovely color and light bodied, as expected for a Pinot. And yes! The fruits explode, filling the mouth with a rich luxury. Tart, but sweet with a cherry punch. Perfectly balanced, and SO easy to drink. This is the best sancerre we've had in a while! Why aren't people banging the doors down for this?

A little funk and ripe cherry on the nose. Light tannins, with a strong tart note. A light wine, in the Pinot tradition. Smooth finish. Over a couple of hours it really opened up, with lovely cedar and smoke, and fuller in flavor. Definitely need to breathe for 2 hours minimum.
