92+ Erin Brooks - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate

"Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Clos des Oiseaux Pinot Noir opens with a touch of reduction that gives way with aeration to savory/meaty notes with warm black cherries & berries, forest floor & wet leaves plus spicy notions. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with sweet fruit & plenty of perfumed earth, with a good frame of grainy tannins & plenty of freshness, finishing long & earthy with crushed rock nuances. Decant this to allow it to show its full potential. 250 cases produced."
