the 2004 is a terrific example of the Pacenti style at its best

Lingua Franca, Mimi's Mind Pinot Noir Vintage:2019 the 2004 is a terrificVivid ruby red. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe red and dark fruits, incense and potpourri, along with an exotic spice nuance and a hint of smoky minerality. Palate staining black raspberry, cherry and fruitcake flavors show sharp definition and deepen steadily as the wine stretches out. Deftly plays richness off elegance and finishes impressively long and chewy, with repeating cherry and floral character and building tannins adding final grip. 8%
