Note di degustazione
Bright ruby colour. Taut and compact on the nose, with primary red fruit that is Pinot in its most youthful outfit. On the palate, there is broader scope of flavour, which has a distinct granitic or ferrous quality. Dry and savoury and needs a good lie down to reach its peak. (RH)

The 2022 Pinot Noir leads with cherries and sumac on the nose and a lithe undercurrent of star anise, licorice, red apples and even a hint of watermelon. The whole-bunch component of this wine contributes graphite and arnica, blood orange, Campari, orange peel and dried fennel seeds. The wine is spicy and agile and feels lighter in fruit weight than the 2021 that came before it. It's still a superb wine, just different. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Tasted blind. Fragrant stemminess on the nose. Lifted floral notes – violet, rose. A real showboater. Petticoat tannins: frilly and soft yet noticeable. Lovely fragrance with subtle oak and lots of persistence. (RH)
