Note di degustazione
The 2021 Cornish Point Pinot Noir leads with poached strawberries, pink peppercorns, sweet roasted meats and black tea, with a hint of sarsaparilla around the finish. In the mouth, the wine is succulent and fresh. The intensity of savory characters introduced by the aromas serves only to feather the edges of the core of fruit in the mouth, while the tannins wrap right around it. Ductile and pliable. Lovely wine. Impressive. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Cornish Point holds itself like a ballerina, poised and tall although this ballerina has more flesh on its bones than you'd see at the royal ballet. It has a curved mid-palate but stays light on its feet, tip-toeing through the mouth. Herbal flavors sit alongside the red rather than black cherry fruit, dark chocolate and coffee grounds. The conclusion is fresh and finely textured.
Eastern end of Bannockburn, 6 km from the winery. Bright crimson. Not yet especially expressive on the nose. Sweet palate entry and a little less ‘serious’ than some of its stablemates. Lots of fine tannins. At the moment there’s a bit of a hole between the fruit and the tannin. Needs time. (JR)
