By Farr - Sangreal Pinot Noir - 2021

This is a particularly firm expression of Sangreal Pinot Noir. It plays all its usual flavours and scents – undergrowth, tangerine, twiggy herb and general bunch influence, red/black cherry, a sweep of smoky-sweet oak, and a general spiciness. But it’s the firmness of the tannin this year that really pulls the room together, and adds command to its assorted flings and arrows. It’s a gorgeous wine, in short. It has variation, length and line, within a controlled context. 95 Points Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
