Very good red color. Reticent but pure nose offers up minerals, smoke and forest floor scents. Large-scaled and wonderfully sweet yet almost magically light on its feet. In fact, this wine is rather tight and racy now, with superb cut. Explosive flavors emerged with some swirling: raspberry, minerals, mocha, smoke, spices and earth. This has the combination of nervosite and complex soil tones that would kick most Burgundies off the table. Superb mounting finish. Likely to merit an even higher score with a couple more years in the bottle.

The plum/ruby-colored, earthy, meaty, smoky 2001 Pinot Noir Marcassin Vineyard possesses Morey-St.-Denis-like characteristics of plums, mushrooms, forest floor, and flowers. Rich, medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, and structured, it should be enjoyed between 2007-2015.
