Wanted to check out a 100% Pinot Noir from France and in the glass this is clear, reddish purple.  On the nose, I get complex smells of wet leaves, cherry (maybe cherry candy), tobacco, anise, spice and a sweet flower, maybe violets.  On the palate, my first reaction was scrumptious and so well balanced with low acidity.  A bunch of flavors of cherry, strawberry and spice arose.  The taste was clean with a medium finish.  A bit light for my taste, but a beautifully constructed Pinot Noir from France.
