Hure Freres, 4 Elements Pinot Noir

From the notes this seems very much a «love it or hate it wine», and I can see why. It isn’t all that complex, but it’s all about the nerve. Golden, touching on copper in color. The nose is refined with aromas of red apples, raspberry and sour cherries, lemon and touch of something animal, almost like cured ham. Intense acidity, though not out of balance. Medium bodied. Long, salty finish withflavors of res apple skin and lemons. The aftertaste …

Short note: Super mineral, animating acidity, rasberry, red apple skin, long and salty finish! Amazing champaign. I could drink this every day

Really fun stuff here. Fruit, minerality, acid all in bunches. If this is the result in a tough vintage I would love to taste it in a good one.

Excellent stuff. Red skinned apple and raspberry fruit, nicely nuanced and complex, delicate, well balanced at 3g/L. This was based on the 2017 vintage and I would rebuy in a heartbeat

This was very bold (too bold for my liking). Strong minerality and acidity are almost overpowering for me. Wonder if it will age and round out a little. I know many have strong opinions on 2017 vintage and I must fall in the pass bucket.
