My first Alsatian Pinot Noir. Pale ruby coloured in the glass. Ripe fruit dominates the nose with notes of stewed strawberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, cassis, rhubarb, sweet leather, cigar box, and a slight kerosene note I have come to expect from the region. The wine is dry, medium bodied, high acidity, and soft tannins that have an edge on the finish.
This review is more of a yes please or no thank you opinion. For tasting notes, consult a Som.
The general body and flavour of this wine was ok, it is a little on the acidic side.
The bottle I tried was not off, but there are tangible off notes in the wine such as rotten strawberry or rotten pomegranate.
There are better wines in the collection than this one.
