Score 94/100 · Drink 2023-2033, Josh Raynolds, Feb 2022

Deep, vivid ruby-red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri and exotic spices, and a smoky mineral topnote builds with air. Impressively concentrated yet energetic on the palate, offering mineral-tinged black raspberry, cherry, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that show fine definition and back-end thrust. Finishes with sneaky tannins, a hint of baking spices and strong, floral-driven persistence.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Zéphirine has layered aromas, with a pretty juxtaposition of tobacco leaves and dried flowers accenting a core of sweet rhubarb, raspberry and blueberry fruit. The medium-bodied palate is silky and elegant, offering loads of earth and spice-laced fruits and a long, uplifted and juicy finish.

Very intense violets and fresh wild cherries, blueberries and a spicy, bracken-like note with a stony edge, too. The palate shows the clarity of tannin that is the hallmark of great pinot noir – super fresh, well-defined and fine yet powerful – carrying cherry flavors long and fresh. Drink or hold.
