Dark red color. Spicy-fruity comes to mind with this big Pinot Noir. Aromas of black pepper, anise, cherries, and blackberries. Upon taste, this Brosseau Pinot shows power with grace. Fine grain tannins and intense minerality are tamed with the silky, rich texture. This wine is built to last up to 10+ years, but decanting is recommended for early enjoyment. This wine when paired with lamb, cannot go wrong.

This Pinot shows the ripeness and richness that Testarossa is known for. Grape yields were evidently low, to judge by the concentration of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, cola, root beer and pomegranate flavors. Fully dry, the wine also is somewhat tight in tannins and acids. It should benefit from a few years in the cellar.

A tight, compact quality to this wine holds it back when it is first opened, but given an opportunity to get some air, it shows more depth and richness than in its first impressions. Its nose takes on both ripe cherry and minerally, chalky tones along with a creme brulee, oaky overlay, and its flavors also begin to open. Still, the wine is too compressed at this point to be fully rewarding, and cellaring would seem the better choice.
