Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 27, 2024 - Perched somewhere in between Burgundy and the new world, this was just a plain delicious Pinot. It had a lovely nose, a little on the sweet, toasty side, but not distractingly so, with notes of ripe, almost cooked cherries and red berries, along with a nice lift of sweet spice and rose, and just a little bit of vanilla and confection at the side. I thought the palate was where this really shone though. Plump and satisfying, yet with a nice juicy balance and a fine structure that kept it always well-cut and defined, this showed a sophisticated mouthful of cherries and red berries patted down with baking spices and a hint of earthiness that pulled the wine into a slightly savoury midpalate and then a lovely long finish with notes of spice and just a hint of the florals picked up on the nose. This was nowhere near as sweet on the palate as the would suggest. Not the most complex wine at this point of its development, but this was impeccably balanced and immensely drinkable, with a good depth to it from attack to finish. Just delicious. It has the chops to age too - it will be very interesting to try this again in 5 to 10 years’ time. 92
