Now made with 50% whole cluster, the 2016 is juicy and ripe on the nose, with a mixture of red and black fruits and exotic nutmeg and clove. The palate is plush, round and polished, with pure black cherry, and dark hedgerow fruits. This is glossy and very pure, with silky and refined tannins. There are notes of spicy, toasty oak on a long finish that is redolent yet cut with bright acidity.
Rich, concentrated, mouth-filling pinot noir in a ripe style with dark-fleshed plum, dark berry, spicy oak, liquorice, a hint of violet and subtle Christmas cake and dried fruit characters. A seductively-textured, almost sumptuous wine.
