Belle Glos Taylor Lane Pinot Noir 2011

The 2011 Pinot Noir Taylor Lane is a small Belle Glos bottling offered only in magnum. Dark and supple, the Taylor Lane offers up a whole range of tobacco, cedar, dark cherry, plum and chocolate flavors. The extended élevage of 22 months in barrel is felt in some torrefaction notes. The 2011 is fully mature and a good choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. This is nicely done. Drinking Window: 2022-2026. Score – 93. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, May 2022)
