From one of my favourite producers. I've always enjoyed the taught chardonnays and silky Shirazes from this iconic Pyrenees producer nestled in the remotest corner of the region at 595m.
This wine opens up with a big cherry nose - dominant dark and red cherry notes with some tangy spice notes. It evolves and develops over time showing real complexity and the beginning of some really interesting secondary notes. The palate continues this theme and introduces some complex tar, meat and spicey oak notes to a back ground of cherry and stewed cherry character. Lovely balance are the hall marks of this beautifully mature Pinot Noir. Drinking superbly right now.
