Tasting - Louis Marsannay

Name:  Latour Marsonnay
Variety:  Pinot Noir
Year:  2010
Region:  Cote de Nuits
Country:  France
Price:  $35 on sale at VC for $17.95

Winery Review:  "Light medium cherry red color with pale meniscus; reduction, floral, tart red fruit nose; tasty, tart red fruit, floral, mineral palate; needs 2 years; medium-plus finish"

My Review:  This wine had floral aromas, with hints of cranberry.  On the palate it was much more earthy than I expected, the Pinot Noir also brought a good spice.  It was medium dry with a long peppery finish.  I did not taste this wine with food.
