The nose has instant sweet brambly fruit, wild berries and porcini mushrooms. The forest floor tones give way to lavender and Provinçal floral notes. From the moment the wine hits the palate, it is evident that this is a Pinot of presence. The tannins are pure silk and carry a veil of high tone berry flavours wrapped in a savoury blanket. The velvety tannins linger, giving the wine a generous length. Oak supports in the background, vital to the depth and power of the flavour. A truly iconic wine from an unforgettable vintage.
