light ruby colour and quasi medium body in the glass. quiet nose of sappy strawberry and raspberry with a dusting of cinnamon and clove. brightly acidic in the mouth and with a gentle and clear precision to the cherry and blackberry fruit, spice accents grow in the midpalate over gentle tannins. some vanilla notes appear into the moderate finish.
a pinot with a light touch that while being fruit forward is not jammy… there is some complexity hiding behind the primary juice which should come out with another year or two of bottle age (so some upside potential there). that said, there is structure enough for the mid-term only.
13.9% AbV; ten months' ageing in French oak (39% new).
