I’m not in at winery or retail price but pre-aged @ $50 on the secondary market, yeah, ok. The nose reveals; ripe, sour, dark cherries, blackberries, black raspberries, dry cranberries, strawberries, plum, raspberries & blueberries, spice, clove, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, vanillin, anise to black licorice, sweet tarriness, dark, rich, earth, tree bark/sap, eucalyptus, maple syrup, dry crushed rocks, volcanics, limestone with some very bright, brilliant, candied fresh & withering; dark, red, purple & blue florals. The nose at this point is better than the palate. Ripe, sour, dark cherries, blackberries, black raspberries, dry cranberries, strawberries, plum, raspberries some rhubarb & blueberries, dark spice pronounced palate heat, clove, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, vanillin, anise to black licorice, dark, sweet tarriness, dark, rich, earth, tree bark/sap, eucalyptus, dry stems, maple syrup notes, dry crushed rocks, volcanics, limestone with some very bright, brilliant, candied fresh & withering; dark, red, purple & blue florals. The acidity is a February waterfall in Hawaii. The finish is a little hot but, palatable, well balanced, nice tension & structure, elegant, lush, ruby, persistent, landing on deep spice & earth. Hits 9.2 rounding up a bit.

Velvet glove, iron fist. Bottle evolved over the hour it was in my glass. I'd love to get my hands on some with some more age to see where it goes. No signs of the alcohol but it is big.

I would put these Aubert Pinot Noir's up against anything from California or France. These are the real deal. Beautifully crafted and balanced. I have yet to share one and not blow my friends away with how great these are! Bravo!!
