Goriska Brda, Slovenia
This is fruit from a 45-year-old vineyard, east-facing vines, giving a glowing ruby wine. Its aromas are refined yet complex with wild strawberry, woodland fruit, well-integrated vanilla and spice, and a subtle hint of roast coffee. To taste, there is almost chocolatey fruit with strawberry and cherry notes too. There’s a natural step up in concentration here, yet it keeps the lightness and grace of great Pinot Noir. Fine-grained tannins, mineral notes, harmonious acidity, and a lingering finish complete the picture. It should age well, too.
