This has just been bottled. A contrast to 2021: a really warm year with 1300 growing degree days. In the Polo vineyard they got to 41.3 C. September dropped down to normal, with 30 mm of rain from September to October, but despite this they watered the vines. Concentrated, dense and vivid with powerful black cherry fruit with some raspberry. Intense and bold with good structure showing lovely fruit intensity. Grippy and intense, this will be amazing with a few years in bottle. And it should live a long time. 95/100 Jamie Goode Wine Anorak
The 2022 Pinot Noir has more concentration that the previous vintage. It shows a mixture of red and black fruit and veins of blue fruit that I have not noticed in previous vintages. It’s riper but still very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy, ripe black fruit, perhaps a little more New World influenced than Burgundy. Grainy tannins are well integrated with impressive grip towards the finish, with a touch of white pepper on the aftertaste. Neal Martin, 91 points
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 2022 PINOT NOIR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID OCTOBER
