I have a more favorable impression of this pinot than DL, perhaps because that volatile edge has mellowed in the intervening year since he tasted it. Still sour-edged to be sure, but with oodles of cran-cherry fruit and oak spice, along with a touch of earthy funkiness. I'm tempted to call it - dare I say it? - Burgundian, though weighing in at a mere 11.2% ABV, it would have to be old school Burgundian... in any case, it may be idiosyncratic, but it's authentic and distinctive.
