Cave de Gortona Vin de Pays du Val de Loire Pinot Noir 2008

9,99€; 12% abv. From Thauvenay-en-Sancerre, 15-20yo vines, hand-picked, ambient yeasts, no oak.

Very light color. Quite a delightful scent: pure Pinosity, nice tart red berries, but ripe and sexy. It also has the slightest touch of funk/sweat - in such amounts that I won't be the only one to enjoy it! ;-) Delightfully light with good acidity - lighter than the scent promised, but I don't mind lightness. It gained weight nicely once opened. For 10€ this is a wine I will buy again: it has character and Pinosity. Good wine.

And only 9,99€ in the most expensive wine shop in the world??? Either Alko made a huge mistake in buying this, or I got a positively off bottle. :D
I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.
