Pinot Noir 2024

Verführerische Aromatik durch die Vergärung der ganzen Trauben, also mit Stielen. Duftende Kräuter und Blüten, zum Teil getrocknete Blüten auf Erdbeeren, roten Kirschen, etwas Krischkern und Marzipan. Fein strukturierte Tannine gleiten über die Zunge. Griffig ohne trocken zu sein, in perfekter Balance mit der saftigen Frucht. Das ist Spitzenklasse! Ähnlich wie auch beim Chardonnay packt der Wein nach und nach immer mehr Aromen aus. Frische Kräuter, Cranberry, rote Kirsche und Hagebutte, präzise und finessenreich. Der Jean Grivot aus Australien?! Hammer! Den Stereotyp der klassischen Aussie Weine wird von Tolpuddle widerlegt. Dieser Wein spielt ganz vorne in der ersten Pinot Liga mit. Traumhaft.

Parker über: Pinot Noir

The 2024 Pinot Noir is supple, silky and powerful. The season was warm, and the wines I have tasted so far—with particular reference to the Pinot Noirs, although not exclusively—have been excellent. This is fresh and vibrant, with cranberry, black cherry, raspberry and field strawberry, alongside licorice and scratched blood orange. This is impressive, to say the least. It has shades of the 2023 density of fruit, but everything is ratcheted up a notch—and for the good too. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Suckling über: Pinot Noir

Another exceptional bottling from this famous producer. Deeply perfumed, brooding aromas of blue and black fruits are supported with underlying notes of forest floor, pencil shavings, pomegranate, rose petals and dried herbs. The silken palate has firmly framed, rounded tannins balanced by mineral-driven acidity. This Grand Cru-level pinot noir will last for decades to come, albeit fresh, reduced and seductive now. Brilliant. Drink or hold.

Winepilot über: Pinot Noir

An unearthing of black cherries, ancho chillis, and tonka bean. A backdrop of thicket and foliage is carefully threaded with raspberries and wild hawthorn. Ceylon tea leaf, sandalwood, and coffee grounds follow. The tannins are crafty working their way across the palate, sidling in, and revealing their potential only once you’re already reaching for another sip. This vintage has captured impressive ripeness and a maturity of tannins, with an uproar of Christmas-cherry fruit standing loud and proud. It feels complete and utterly enticing, speaking of the Coal River Valley with impeccable clarity, finesse of detail, and beautifully layered texture. There is a long life ahead of this wine and one that will demonstrate Tolpuddle’s ability for long term cellaring. Drink now with torched Nasu Dengaku or pop in the back of your cellar for another 6-8 years. More if you have ideal cellar conditions.
