Pretty aromatics lead the charge with sweet pops of raspberry and red rose before a quick underpinning of autumnal savouriness, ferrous drive and stemmy spice. It’s so compelling straight out of the gate. Air reveals tilled earth, iodine, raspberry compote, toasted hazelnut, graphite, paperbark and riverstone. The fruit and spice mix is wonderfully appealing. The palate is mouth filling but precise, with restrained power and architectural structure. Raspberry, red cherry, orange zest, rhubarb, twiggy spice and decaying leaves burst through the mouth before swathes of fine-but-firm ferrous tannins and cherry acidity constrict and funnel it all long through the mouth. This is so classy, bringing together prettiness and powerful, savoury complexity to create a harmonious and complex pinot noir that will age beautifully. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted Feb 2025.
