Written Notes

The 2007 Pinot Noir is racy, perfumed and super-expressive, not to mention incredibly delicious. Still quite fresh and bright, the 2007 will drink well for many years to come. Bright red berry, wild flowers, mint and rose petal notes give this mid-weight Pinot tons of punchiness. I suppose the 2007 is not quite as complex as some of the very finest wines in the tasting, but there is an element of sheer joyousness that is impossible to resist. Racy, silky and perfumed, the 2007 is just gorgeous. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous 95p.

Although a good wine, I’m not as impressed of the pinot as of the Estate Chardonnay, but that’s most likely due to the youth of this vintage – it is a bit dry, tannic and short. On the nose, it’s at first a bit closed, but with some air it opens up and reveals lovely aromas of dark cherries and sloe, and there is also a slight floral note. This is not one of those seductive and ripe pinots, this is more earthy and deep, also more well structured and mineral driven, and it needs some time in the bottle to show its full potential. It is made in a classic way, but there is as much a 75 per cent of new oak, and the wine has been kept in the barrels for 18 months. Considering the time and amount of new oak, it’s very well integrated. I would love to see this wine a few years from today.
