94 / 100"Reminiscent of the Giaconda pinots of the late 1980s, this long and deeply flavoured wine brings structure and balance, plus the expectation of evolved complexity. ItÕs meaty and quite woolly, with a reductive, lanolin-like bouquet of red cherries, berries, cloves and cinnamon backed by dusty spices. Medium to full-bodied, with a long, generous presence of sweet red cherries and berries, blackberries and fine-grained oak, it finishes quite dry, with lingering savoury, spicy and meaty aspects."

Tasting Notes
Old fashioned magenta colour; Satsuma plums, twigs, cold tea and exotic spice notes of cinnamon and mandarin rind. Brooding and mysterious with a captivating aroma. It has elements reminiscent of '89 and '92 with additional layers of complexity. The initial palate impact provides ripe plum notes with a striking corset of fine savoury tannin that focuses and defines the wine. Powerful yet elegant, ripe but not sweet, it will require time for the wine to unravel its hidden magic. Without question the most complex and beautiful structured Pinot to come from Giaconda.
