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 and berries, forest floor and wet leaves plus spicy notions. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with sweet fruit and plenty of perfumed earth, with a good frame of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and earthy with crushed rock nuances
