This is a very stylish, plump and fleshy pinot that has a sweetly spicy, floral and fragrant nose with ripe red and dark cherries, as well as sappy, forest leaves and gentle, earthy tones. Complex, young and fresh. The palate has such supple and sappy cherries and blueberries with a fresh, tangy line of acidity and a long, polished finish. Impressive.
Utterly likable with a perfume you could fall headfirst into, there's succulent purple fruit, blueberry jam and vanilla bean aromas with a soft underbelly of spice. The silky, juicy palate has a stony mineral nuance, underpinned by spicy tannins. Absolutely smashable now, this could also cellar until 2030.
