Note di degustazione
The 2021 Pinot Noir is commensurate with what I know of the 2021 vintage: it has great energy and detail, eminent drinkability and a supple fruit profile. The tannins are very fine and curve through the fruit, the acidity trailing just tucked in behind. It's a lovely wine and likely to age so well, given the 18 vintages I am looking at alongside it. The season was cool, and the harvest saw some frost during it—fortunately, in vineyards that had been picked—but nevertheless, the picture is drawn. I like the wine a lot. It has matured in style over the decades, and this is a great example of where it has come to. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Pinot Noir is a Willy Wonka wine. It is like the three-course chewing-gum trialed by Violet Beauregard: it starts off as a savory, almost meaty Pinot Noir, reminiscent of a Sunday roast beef lunch. Black chocolate and cherry-like flavors follow, and it finishes with a shot of espresso. It is smooth in texture with supple, well-handled tannins and refreshing acidity. A balanced and appealing Pinot Noir that could be broached in its early years but will be better for a little time in bottle.
