This is a brilliant Pinot Noir from the Team at Moss Wood, and arguably the best I’ve tried to date. It’s a serious proposition, and it borders on vinicide to open it at this early stage. Alas, notes needed to be written and bottle was sacrificed! 

Powerfully and spicy on the nose, crunchy red berry fruits, florals, oak spice, cinnamon, fresh tobacco, perhaps a hint of pine sap. Medium-bodied, structured and firm on the palate with a wonderful red berry crunch, plums and cherries, tightly coiled acidity and fine tannins. Impressive detail and finesse on show. 

Excellent, but needs time or 24+ hours to show its best.
