2009 Chacra Treinta y Dos

Drinking at home.

2009 Chacra Pinot Noir Treinta y Dos - nose of plum, leather, and a little eucalyptus. Good concentration on the palate. Good balance between the sweetness and acidity, but still a little alcoholic. A little vanilla oak, which got more prominent 40 minutes after opening. This is a pinot noir but definitely not Burgundy. 2½ hours after opening the nose was much more open, with more dried herbs and potpourri. Softer on the palate, too.
