A balance of spice, earth and mixed red and black fruits carry through from the nose to the finish. Give this nuanced wine plenty of air upon opening to allow it to show more readily. Lightly tactile, fine-particled tannins and persistent fresh acidity carry this wine into a long finish. Will evolve more in the bottle. (ECB)

Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2027, Josh Raynolds, Jan 2018

Deep brilliant red. Vibrant, sharply focused aromas of ripe red berries, potpourri and Asian spices, lifted by a smoky mineral nuance. Broad and concentrated on the palate, offering ripe raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors that show impressive energy, lift and focus. A rich yet lively Pinot that finishes with strong drive and chewy tannins that come on late.

Oldest vineyard in the district, planted in 1975, from two separate blocks (115 and Pommard respectively) on Jory. Deep garnet. Intense and rich on the nose. And then marked vegetal hint on the end. Very structured. Intense and deep. Ambitious. Lots of time needed. Lots to chew on! Almost sour end. (JR)
