"Light ruby. Very delicate and charming. The fruit is extra-pure (red cherries, redcurrant) and has a lively floral character. Silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a gentle smokiness in the very long finish make this wine just delightful. (FG)"

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Block 3 is unadulterated and broods sexiness. It seduces you with its rich, expansive mouthfeel, untamed flavors and succulent texture, leading to a long finish. It is a wine that feels very hands-off, allowing the fruit to shine and those abundant tannins to ooze and coat the entire mouth with melted chocolate. I kept coming back to this wine over three days, and it never failed to impress. One for the shopping list."
