A very limited release: Intense and utterly delicious pinot noir, with a haunting perfume and silky tannins. Plum and cherry interwoven with floral, violet and a subtle savoury character. Refined power.
Pale Burgundy with a purple hue. An elevated menagerie of flavours. Black truffle, fresh picked blueberries, brioche, chanterelle mushroom, lavender and dried goji berries. The palate is the epitome of a peacock feather; the flavour starting modest but fanning out to a length rarely seen in this variety. The tannins are but satin and level of concentration is deftly hidden but a pure acid line. Majestic!
95/100 Bob Campbell describes the wine as “Elegant wine with raspberry, dark cherry, mixed spice and subtle spicy oak. Supple, silken-textured pinot noir that is seductively easy to appreciate. Vibrant wine with impressive purity.”
A sense of place and purity of fruit, variety and complexity lead to a plate filled with flavours of cherries and strawberries, mushroom and baking spices, stony brown soils and a fine wood smoke quality. A lighter weighted wine touches the palate with complexity from needle-point tannin textures and and core purity of fruit flavours. lengthy and delicious with best drinking from late 2024 through 2033+.
