2023 Giaconda Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml

Call it nostalgia but this pinot reminds me of the late blooming 1989 and the deliciously perfumed 1995, combined! A potpourri of rose petal, red summer berries, roasted beetroot with an overlay of oak smoke and peat sitting nicely in the background, alongside a lighter touch of stem influence.
