This is probably the most serious Pinot I had on the trip, no disrespect to the Felton bottles. My heart is kinda with Rippon, and this was a little ruthless to drink this so young, but it doesn’t export to US and I figured it was worth a roll of the dice. Opened 3 days ago and tried each day then recorked. I think oxygen has finally started to subtract after its initial age simulation contribution. But I believe in this bottle and would wish to have it in a few years and with food, instead of in a camper van in cheeky makeshift tasting moments.
