Dalrymple Single Site Coal River Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Restrained and reticent straight off with a deep, brooding aromatic profile. Clove, nutmeg, damp earth, and au jus make way for sweet pops of plum pudding and a glimmer of mocha. This is deep, dark and sexy with savouriness leading the charge. The earth notes emerge more with air along with decaying leaves. The melding of earthiness and sweet spice is very appealing as it encircles the core of fruit. The palate has similar restraint and dark, ferrous appeal. Ripe plum, clove, earth, and forest floor glide through the mouth before a vigorous line of sour earth-laden acidity holds sway. The tannins are chalky though svelte and supple. Good length here, defined by forest floor and brown spice. A complex, intense, and enchanting Pinot Noir.
