Morlet Pinot Noir Coteaux Nobles 2012
This ultra-impressive Pinot launches forth with expressive notes of cherry, plum, and toasted almonds. The palate is silky smooth and delivers a galaxy of tightly wound plum, cranberry, kirsch and opulent strawberry. The finish is magnificent with profound layers of dark fruit, baking spices, and hints of creamy oak. Gorgeous and immensely enjoyable now (decanting recommended), the flavors will continue to expand gracefully for 5 – 7 years if you’re patient enough to wait.
