Tasting notes
Smells of green herbs and forest berries. Gorgeous mixed forest berries have a delicate ethereal quality mixed with stony minerality and chopped herbs and floral notes. Faint muscular tannins prowl around the edges of the palate, and the finish has a charming floral aromatic sweetness to it that recalls mixed-berry pastilles. Really beautiful. (AY)

The 2018 Pinot Noir Legan Vineyard is a wine of exquisite beauty and precision. Bright red fruit, wild flowers, mint and blood orange all pulse through this taut, beautifully precise Pinot from Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts. All the elements are impeccably balanced throughout. Gracious and perfumed, the 2018 will drink well for a number of years. I would prefer to cellar it a bit first, although that will clearly require a bit of willpower.
