Harewood Estate Flux V Denmark Pinot Noir 2024

Striking labels, the Flux series is basically a way for the team at Harewood Estate to push the envelope. And push it, they do. Maturation here is in French oak barriques, both new and older, with no fining or filtration. These are always worth a look. The colour is a pale crimson/russet. Lifted aromatics here, with spicy notes as well as hints of leaf litter, cherries, bay leaves, smoked meats, dry vegetation and animal skins. Good complexity, the wine has impressive length, sleek tannins, fine balance and zesty acidity. It concludes with a flick of sour cherry on the finish. The wine will drink well over the next eight years.
