Our '94 Pinot noir follows in the footsteps of our ’93 in terms of weight and structure. It has an intense and vibrant cerise colour, and the nose is complex, showing floral notes and ripe berries with a soft underlying gaminess. On the palate, the flavours are round but elegant, concentrated but eminently drinkable (reflecting the characters found in the nose), and have a dense middle palate built up with soft ripe tannins. As with most good Pinot, this is very drinkable now, but it could be a 7-10 year wine if cellared under appropriate conditions. Less then ideal conditions do require earlier consumption (see cellaring guide). Magnums tend to prolong the cellaring life of a wine, reducing the effect of oxidative processes during cellaring. |
