4.0 / 5.0750 ml@Lo Bar

This wine strikes a curious chord with its meld of black fruits and an unexpected yet delightful overlay of dusty library shelves, supple leather, tobacco leaves, and a hint of chocolate. Although delicate in its approach, there's a slight effervescence that adds a whimsical touch. A fine representation of natural Pinot Noir, it manages to weave complexity without losing its balance.
