Drank with herbed salmon and mushroom risotto.

Decanted for 3 hours.

Typical in every way. Light red in colour, very clear once the sediment settled, medium body. Fruit and earth nose and the usual elusive aromatics of pinot noir. Strawberries and a vegetal streak on the palate. Decent acidity, plenty of fine tannins and a dry finish.

Now what's wrong with all that you say?

Nothing, it's a good wine, except you can get all of that for half the price!

Will certainly benefit from a few more cellar years...but it's still not worth $42.
