Saturday, September 8, 2018 - 2018 Long Sunday Lunch on the Langhe: Served blind by Jeffrey. Under screwcap. Youthful colour. A young-seeming Pinot bouquet of dark plums, black spices, liquorice, brushwood and wet iron. On palate, it was a bit of a beast with huge structure and heavy extraction. It had decent freshness but seemed to have lower acidity. I picked it as an Oregon, rather than a New Zealand, Pinot Noir. Black plums, cherries and other fruits, quince paste and sous bois. A very good NZ Pinot Noir, drinking more like a five than a 15 year old.
