“Medium red. Alluring Pinot perfume of raspberry and rose petal. Distinctly tighter on the palate than the 2017, with a powerful chalky, crushed-stone character currently keeping the wine's red fruit flavors quite clenched. It's hard to imagine that this very saline wine, from a cool, wet year, will expand as much in bottle as the 2017 will, but it should nonetheless evolve slowly.”
