$42, 5 stars, 94 points, australia, pinot noir, Yarra valley
Yesterday was my cousin’s birthday so we sailed the Potomac river and ended up in Old Town Alexandria for dinner. I picked this Pinot Noir as I felt it would pair well with the myriad of main dishes that were ordered- Hangar steak, Swordfish etc. It was stunning. I took some very basic notes…
Cherry, baking spices, a touch of forest fooor, red raspberry, med (+) acidity med (-) tannins, medium bodied- 13.5% ABV …..delicious, silky smooth, long finish. 94 points, till 2032. Excellent development potential.
Looking this gem up I see one review as high as 96 points and a $43 price point. RUN, don’t walk if you like a delicious Pinot of this caliber. Salut….
