"This is surprisingly ripe and concentrated for such young vines with a fruit profile that runs to a notably pure and deep mix of both red and black pinot aromas and one can smell the usual stoniness that continues onto the sweet, full and quite rich flavors that just ooze class and grace on the mouth coating and velvety finish that retains perfect focus and balance. This too possesses sophisticated tannins but the natural breed of Caillerets gives this the barest edge in overall quality."
