"Shows sappy, fragrant redcurrant and rasperry aromas nicely married with oak. A supple palate, with sweet fruits and a suggestion of whole bunch use, finishing with good length and fine stemmy tannins. Caillard [MW] noted, 'Intense red cherry, strawberry aromas with herb garden, chinotto and vanilla notes. Classical wine with fresh ripe cranberry fruits, underlying roasted chestnut and vanilla oak notes and fresh integrated mineral acidity. A beautiful example of pinot noir.'"

"Youthfully charming and perfumed, the wine shows dark cherry, raspberry, violet, thyme and toasted almond characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that's flowing and lingering. It's elegant and stylish with plenty of juicy fruit flavours as well as seductive savoury nuances. At its best: now to 2026.”
