Dexter Pinot Noir 2024 (6 x 750ml)
"Fraise des bois, musk berries, and a touch of cigar clippings open
the wine, which quickly whisks you off your feet with its cherry-berry
conviviality. Notes of kumquat skin and red vermouth introduce a sling of
bitterness that acts as an anchor, grounding the lift of fruit-a
thoughtful detail that keeps it from floating away. Yes this is serious
wine, although I'll forgive you for gulping it down. It's so damn tasty.
Tannins make a significant impression, though so powdery they're almost
indefinable. Hints of rhubarb and red earth emerge, finishing with
savoury tree bark and cumin spice. This is the kind of wine that
disappears quickly, yet it's worth pausing to sip and savour, as there is
clear artistry in its making. Drink now, or cellar for another 2-3 years
further. A lovely partner for pork sui mai dumplings."

"A delicate wine here, so fine and lacy, with poached strawberry,
spice, a spearmint freshness, a patina of old leaf and polished wood, a
crisp and spicy red-fruited succulence, a light emery board grip to
tannin, and a sappy blood orange tang. A raspberry and cinnamon-laced
white pepper finish closing with a distinctly steely and cool rain-washed
edge. Such a lovely wine. A delight."
