Is Pinot Noir a good wine?

What reviewers say

“Translucent crimson red. Light, complex bouquet on the nose, exhibiting smoky red cherries, cranberries, rhubab, wet tree leaves, bird droppings and chalk. Palate is also complex and consistent with the nose.”

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

Summary

Offers red cherry aromas with a hint of spice. The juicy, ripe fruit flavours lead into a supple, soft tannin finish. Enjoy with lamb or pork dishes.
