Giaconda Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

A supple and fine-grained pinot whose heady, floral perfume of red flowers, red cherries and berries has a dusty, cedary oak-derived note, a hint of musky spice, nuances of dried herbs and a note of Sicilian blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, itÕs long and elegant, with translucently clear core of cherry, plum and berry flavours and tight-knit crunchy tannins backed by a faint meatiness, a hint of clove and fennel. ItÕs likely to build substantial richness before then becoming finer and more savoury as it matures. Reminiscent of the stellar 1989 edition.
