Luc Pirlet – Pinot Noir

Luc Pirlet – Pinot Noir

Luc Pirlet is a French Pinot Noir.  It has a twist top which is very convenient.  The pour isn’t too dark.

The initial smell is intense and dark or rich in nature.  This is a good wine.  I little bitter, but nothing harsh about it.  I would recommend it.  My later thoughts were, this is a really good wine.

I would give this wine a 4/5.

My initial impressions of this wine is excellent and not harsh.  I very drinkable wine.  This particular wine is not good with chocolate at all.  This is a twist top bottle which makes it easy to take places.

La Delizia

It is an Italian wine and Estate bottled which often means the Estate’s best grapes will go into this wine.  One can only hope that the grapes are good.

I had this wine again the other night.  Different year I think, and I have to say I really enjoyed it.  Two glasses and I was feeling fine.  I do not think I would suggest more than that, but the next day I felt good.

It has an intense flavor to it, but it isn’t a bite, just an intense flavor.  I can understand why I wouldn’t like this wine with chocolate.  It would have brought out the bitterness with the sweet paring with the wine.  I would highly suggest this wine to anyone who comes across it.

I would say this is a strictly serve with red meat kind of wine.  Finish it before you start in on any deserts or anything sweet.

Overall I would give this wine a 4/5 rating.

This Pinot Noir is pretty good.

4/5 stars on the Linda Scale.

This is a fairly dark wine.  It has a strong smell, with an intense fruit flavor.  It is slightly dry, but not bitter.

Overall I liked this wine.  I would say it is dinner worthy especially with a piece of red meat.

This 2013 Pinot Noir is pretty good.

4/5 stars on the Linda Scale.

The following notes are short and tend to be quickly taken after a quick sampling in the evening.

HAHN Winery has a pleasant and fruity aroma.  The taste is smooth, with a slight spice to it, perhaps cherry.

It is an easy wine to drink.  After 2 glasses no issues I had no issues.  The next morning I still felt fine.  Overall, not a great wine, but ok.  A drinkable wine.

If this was all I had I would probably serve it to guests.  As a smooth drinkable wine with no ill effects it isn’t a bad choice.
