Elegant nose, both sweet and earthy. Medium intensity of strawberry and port-like aromas. Medium sweet on the palate, soft and round but with vivid medium(+) acidity. Low alcohol. Medium intensity of ripe strawberry flavor and mild spices. Medium(+) length.

Conclusion: 

Extremely elegant and well-balanced Pinot Noir, which has softened nicely over the years without losing its earthy character.

In short: 
Very good
