Really fine Pinot. Nose skies out of the glass. Moist earth, sweet spices, tangy, rich black cherry juice, a bit of sweet, high-toned smoke. In the mouth it’s so flavorful yet seems to float. Very pure, tangy flavors that cling. Very little tannin. Seemingly still pretty youthful.

Intense, nose-tinglingly vibrant dark cherry fruit, along with a cinnamon-like spice note and some forest floor soil notes. Soft and mouthfilling. Almost no tannin, but bright acids. Clearly a short-term drinker. Very earthy. Lots of sous-bois. Distinctive.

Sappy, piercingly-tangy cherries, pine forest floor, some crushed rock. Both rich and tangy in the mouth, with a pronounced humus note. Lot of character.

Really good. Nose has funky, yeasty, pine forest underbrush, crushed rocks, tangy wild berries. Intense and zingy in the mouth, bone dry, with great fruit and loads of crushed rock minerality. Loooong finish. Really good acids. 13.2%!

40% whole cluster. Deep cherry and raspberry. Quite firm in the palate so should show better in time
