This has a spicy array of red cherries, blueberries and pomegranate with blood oranges and some sappy nuances. The palate has such attractively fresh and succulent texture and a very juicy, supple and smooth-honed feel. The tannins have a gently chalky, smooth-honed, measured and seamless texture. Glorious, delicious pinot. Drink over the next ten years.
Magenta dye and blood red. Both red and black fruits play a part here; high toned, spicy notes jostle with a fragrant oak lift, balanced by roasted beetroot, blood plums; simply seductive on the palate, rounded, spicy, elegant and yet so powerful. The tannins are a masterclass in perfection, present yet discretely playing in the background whilst the fruit stands front of stage. A wine that is truly complete. Nevertheless patience will be rewarded as this wine transforms from youthful exuberance into a sublime, sophisticated expression of site and maker. This wine continues the phoenix like resurgence of pinot noir here at Giaconda - new clones, new plantings and greater understanding of how to coax the very best out of this delightful and beguiling variety.
