Josh Bergström's Notes
Light red cherry in color, the 2018 Le Pré du Col Pinot Noir has effusive aromas of cherry and plum fruits, citrus oils, Chinese Five Spice, bouillon, meaty mushrooms, incense, and dark chocolate. The wine is elegantly framed with silky tannins, soft, plush plum and dark-berried fruit, spice flavors, and a succulent vein of juicy acidity on the finish. The use of no new oak barrels in 2018 allows this great site to shine with its natural spice and fruit flavors. This wine is approachable now for early enjoyment but should age well for the next decade or more. Drink 2022-2032+. Alcohol: 13.1%
