pungent flowers and smoky minerals

The 2018 Pinot Noir L'Ensemble is the first iteration of this cuvée

There is outstanding concentration and muscle to the punchy medium weight plus flavors that conclude in a beautifully long and notably firm finish of focused power and seriously good depth

There's fine acidity backing it all, but it's out of sorts today. Then, a peach infused aftertaste convinces me. Best from 2006 through 2020. BS
