An elegant, supple pinot of medium to fullish weight whose musky, floral fragrance of red cherries, redcurrants, blood plums and sweet cedar/vanilla oak reveals notes of paprika-like spice and chocolate. It’s long, gentle and evenly paced, with layers of bright fruit and oak knit with a faintly gravelly, mineral spine, finishing with freshness and balance. Pleasingly savoury; a little reminiscent stylewise of Tollot Beaut.
