Too fruity for you?
Quite the reverse. Pinot noir is way too thin. US wines (as with most New World) are far too simple <shrug>

agreed, we find Pinot Noir a little light too in general...this doesn't seem to be available in Oz after a quick check. Would've tried it.Quite the reverse. Pinot noir is way too thin. US wines (as with most New World) are far too simple <shrug>

That is excellent, used to drink that at our favourite Italian in Bahrain.
Not a fan of “organic” - we had a couple and never again.This was an organic Syrah/Grenache picked up in St Pol de Leon. At 15% abv it was as hamfisted as the acting in the Dukes of Hazzard film we watched with the kids tonight. The label was very nice though and the film had a couple of other redeeeming features.
Sadly not! It’s a Lego piece and as I’m Danish it’s nice to have some Danish icons in my house.

Indeed. I’d recommend Biodynamic Wine, Demystified by Nicolas Joly if you want to know more. It’s not all barking. If that’s a bit dry for your taste, there’s a romp of a story called Saving Our Skins by Caro Feeley. Her story about building a vineyard in France is remarkable and very well told.Conversely I've had some bloody good organic wines. Didn't buy them because they were organic, mind....
One of the best was made by some really bizarre people that used to bury cow horns full of cow **** at a full moon as it had a greater impact!
Can't recall what the belief is called, apart from slightly barking.

Jaboulet make some great Rhône’. Try Hermitage La Chapelle if you come across it.
