After a few so-so red wines recently, I decided to give Rick's Pinot a run, and, boy, am I hyped for this wine! ABV 14.1% Cork closure This wine pours as smooth as liquid garnets. I confess that it smelt SO wonderful, I didn't even bother to let it breathe, with my nose drinking in those delicious red berry aromas. The bouquet delivers buttery smooth dark fruit. Damsons, Mulberry, Blackberry and Black Raspberry spring to mind (via the nose!). The nose erupts with powerful mulberry aromas, backed by light oak and tobacco.. On the palate I am getting liquorice and what I can only describe as "juicy" oak. This is certainly one delicious, fruit-forward wine. There is an unexpected but very pleasant sweetness of red raspberries on the tongue at first, which dissipates to an amazing complex of stone fruits and red berries with black pepper, and I am excited to try it again tomorrow evening after it has opened up. The finish is very dry, almost astringent, and a marked contrast to that initial sweetness. On the late finish, there is just a hint of that initial sweetness. In my opinion, this Pinot Noir is worth every last penny, and should be a wine that will lay down very nicely, I would say for up to a decade, because things will only get better from here!
