Marcassin Marcassin Vyd. Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2001

Dull red.

Aromatic stew - oak spice, slow-roasted meat and earth with red cherry and red licorice underneath.

Mouth-coating creaminess that is quickly cut short by aggressive acidity. Tannin is light. Overall impression is that this doesn't have the flamboyant complexity or concentrated core of the best bottlings of this wine.

Air may help, but I doubt it.
