"Pale crimson. Savoury and floral. Very pretty aromas, with a Morey-St-Denis flair. Elegant, fine tannins and plenty of bright acidity. It's delicate and pure, with a long, perfumed finish. Integration of oak, acidity and pure red fruit is spot-on. (FG)"

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Cornish Point is an elegant, stylish wine with precision and poise. It tickles the nose with its fragrance, almost dancing up your nostrils, bringing woody green herbs to your olfactory. Christmas spices and fruit cake aromas appear alongside fresh cherries and plums. It is shy of medium-bodied and isn't showy, offering a more delicate, light-on-its-feet style than other Pinot Noirs from the Felton Road stable. The wine ends with a gentle lift, reminiscent of a conductor lifting his baton and instructing the orchestra to end the quiet final note. The finish is fragrant and pure fruited."
