2021 Pinot Noir Unique

The 2021 Pinot Noir Malans Unique opens with a coolish and herbal bouquet with leafy notes and redcurrant aromas and indicates a less generous wine compared to the 2022. The 2021 is less juicy on the palate and characterized more by its transparency, frisky finesse and tension than juiciness and suppleness. The wine is still a bit thrifty on the palate at this early stage and reminiscent of the 2010, but it indicates more intensity and power. The concentrated and dense 2021, with its astringent tannins and firm acidity structure, is definitely a wine to age. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2024.
