Note di degustazione
The 2020 Cornish Point Pinot Noir has sweet roasted meats, pepper-rolled pastrami and Szechuan spice on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is more delicate and finer than expected from the aromatics, and it is supported by the cooling acidity in providing freshness and repose from some of the more savory characters in the wine. A lovely juxtaposition. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Rich, generous red fruit with clove spice from oak. Earth and beetroot on the nose – pleasingly multi-dimensional, and there is loads of persistence too. A great example of satisfying young Pinot that should age for 20 years or more. (RH)
The 2020 Pinot Noir Cornish Point is fragrant, poised and shapely. Despite its silken texture and flowing style, there's unexpected, almost fierce substance within the core of this light- to mid-weight style. That power follows through on the structured palate, and fine tannins provide assured grip, which seems to be a result of the small berries of this vintage, giving a greater skin-to-juice ratio. There's fresh cherry fruit and an attractive herbal twist on the medium-long finish. A Cornish Point with muscle that should age well.
Indigenous yeast. Aged 13 months in French oak, 30% new. Not fined or filtered. Mid to dark crimson. More lifted than the Bannockburn. More transparent and ethereal with a vegetal hint on the finish. Interesting! Not trying to be burgundy but pretty emphatic in its own mould without being heavy. (JR)
