Domaine Ostertag Pinot Noir Les Jardins 2018 Review
The nose is a bit sour with the classic cherry notes trying to emerge to no avail. The palate is quite drying for this grape with overwhelming tannin masking its depth. Lacking sufficient fruit, the mouthfeel is very austere with a finish that drops off quickly.
