95 / 100"Estate-grown in the Piccadilly Valley (vines planted '82), hand-picked, with two ferments, one conventional, the other whole bunch and foot-stomped, pressed to French oak (60% new) for 12 months maturation. Full crimson-purple; a powerful pinot showing the complexity Jeffrey Grosset was aiming to achieve; the structure ex whole bunches is filled out by a potpourri of black cherry and plum fruit, the concentration of the small berry/small bunch vintage very evident, carrying the French oak with ease."
