Three Sisters Pinot Noir 2006 Marcassin

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (94)

The 2006 Pinot Noirs that are just being released include the 2006 Pinot Noir Three Sisters Vineyard. While it has closed down since I tasted it last year, it does reveal a dark plum/ruby color as well as a smoky bouquet of Asian plum sauce, soy, forest floor and sweet black cherries. Like many Marcassin Pinots, it possesses a Morey St.-Denis-like character. The Three Sisters cuvee will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age and drink well for a decade or more.

Sleek, complex, elegant and delicate, this is beautifully crafted, with subtle campfire, roasted marshmallow, ripe cherry, plum, strawberry and blueberry flavors. Finishes with fine-grained tannins.
