Tasting notes
The 2012 Pinot Noir has lovely floral nuances with some herbal accents and a great core of fruit. Very elegant in the mouth with a nice backbone of tannins and acid, this vintage is a true beauty.

Bright ruby (not much blue despite the wines' youth). Intensely ripe on the nose but no sweetness on the palate. Quite a change of style! Quite grown up. Lots of excitement and reverberation on the palate. Dry finish and real savour. Very long and punchy. (JR)
Good bright medium red. Dark raspberry, smoked meat, gunflint and a hint of pepper on the soil-driven nose. Intensely flavored, savory and dry, with excellent cut to the red berry and spice flavors. This has the generosity of fruit to support its serious spine of dusty tannins.
