Nose of balsamic vinegar and raisins, vegetal and earthy. Medium bodied. Flavourful, quite woody, with dark, stewed fruit and a dry earthiness. Long, dry finish.

Not really a very good pinot but not a bad wine. A rustic pinot. I actually didn't mind drinking this at all, though I tend to prefer oaky and earthy to fruity and sweet, as some cheaper pinots can be.
