Note di degustazione
The 2018 Pinot Noir Basalt Block is tense and earthy, with broody aromas of crushed red cherries, blackberries and plums and ever-shifting accents of shiitake, fir needles, dark chocolate, licorice and violet. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with delicately styled, saline-driven fruit at this stage and a very long, ethereal finish. Although it feels youthfully coiled, it blossoms beautifully over several days, suggesting it will benefit from several years in bottle and be long-lived in the cellar.

Limpid ruby. Ripe red and blue fruit, floral and exotic spice qualities on the nose, along with smoky mineral and succulent herb nuances. Juicy blueberry, cherry cola, star anise and candied violet flavors reveal a hint of black tea. Turns sweeter with air and finishes very long and precise, with smooth tannins framing reverberating blue fruit and floral notes. 18% new French oak.
Aromas of dark plums, dark cherries, violets, forest wood and cigar box. Itâs medium-bodied with creamy tannins and lively acidity. Savory and mineral with a silky texture. Supple finish with lingering vanilla notes. Drink now or hold.
