The 2023 Pinot Noir Silice is layered and seductive, showing black raspberry liqueur, wet stones, toasted spice, cardamom, and black cherries. “Silice” means silica, and this wine comes from forest blocks planted in 2001 on the site with the highest sand content in the soils that they work with. The structure is remarkable, fine, and floating on the palate, with refreshing acidity and an angular, well-defined, gravelly texture to its tannins, which is highly appealing and reminiscent of Nebbiolo in its structure. Drink 2027-2047.
A powerful and perfumed red that’s wonderfully concentrated and well balanced. It’s packed with raspberries, black cherries, violets and spearmint on the nose, leading to sour cherries, cranberries and dried strawberries on the palate. Moderate tannins, a light body and vivid acidity give it a mouthwatering expression. Drink now or hold.
