2014 Mon Cheval Pinot Noir
Deep garnet-red with hints of brick at the rim, indicating maturity. The nose reveals savory notes reminiscent of damp forest floor, with earthy undertones evoking freshly foraged mushrooms. On the palate, the wine unfolds with layers of complexity. Savory flavors dominate, echoing the forest floor and mushroom notes observed on the nose. Ripe red fruit, such as cherries and cranberries, interplay with the savory elements, adding depth and dimension. Silky tannins provide structure, while bright acidity lifts the palate, balancing the richness of the wine. The finish is lingering and contemplative, with a lingering umami quality that leaves a lasting impression.
