TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Cavernous crimson in the glass, this Pinot Noir’s colour is unusually deep for Burgundy. This depth in hue is mirrored both on the nose and palate with its pronounced bouquet leading exquisitely into a concentrated, fruit-filled palate. The pure power and presence of this wine is perfectly counterbalanced by vibrant acidity and seductive tannic structure. Savoury aromas of olive tapenade, charcuterie, and forest floor intermingle with liquorice, cassis, and dark cherry forming a perfume as intriguing as it is irresistible. Luscious fruit sweetness and density fill the mouth as lively acidity lends the wine an enchanting energy. Fine-grain tannin locks in vanishing impressions of red fruit, effortlessly elongating the finish.
Food Match
Pair with venison tenderloin, red cabbage, young turnips and roast plum puree.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now or over the next 10 years.
