Marcassin "Bondi Home Ranch" Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast 2002

Deep, saturated red.

Vinturi - deep, sumptuous nose - smoke, herbs, hazelnut sauce, brine, tomato/bruschetta, smoked meat. Very deep/loaded. Keeps adding stuff as it airs that I can't describe. Red licorice?

Completely round and mouth-filling, packed but no weight. Acid/slight VA edge is noticeable, but welcome, adding spicy lift.
Tanzer's "3-D" texture that reminds me of certain Alban Syrahs. Which also, routinely, show no heat, despite high alcohol.

Somebody better grab this bottle soon, or I'll be sleeping through tomorrow.

$90. 14.9% alcohol.
