I have been spoiled with New World Pinot Noirs, which I
love, to the point that I am not a fan of French style Pinot
Noir. I will admit that I didn't like this wine at first,
and that this is not the style that I like, but I actually
had a French Pinot Noir yesterday that this tasted like a lot.
The flavor is temperate cherries and other fruit, and you
get the faintest amount of spice, but not enough to
overpower your food. In fact, this might go well with some
nicely spiced steak, pork or game meat (boar), if not duck
and/or goose.
If you like old world Pinot Noir, then you'll enjoy this
wine.
