2022 Yates Conwill Pinot Noir Pommard
Smells of sweet red cherries warmed in a bowl by the sun. Very faint nose. Entry is round and coats the mouth offering up flavors ranging from yellow Mirabelle plums to red plum meat near the pit. Great acidity, more akin to Burgundy in the acidity than New World Pinots. Will probably age for a long while. Clean and refreshing. Most “Ore-gundian” in style as it has the ethereal aromatics and the mid-palate stuffing followed by a complex and intriguing finish, yet on a lighter, chamber music scale. Flavors of red plums, raspberries, Rainier cherries. With 30 minutes: more sour cherry preserves on dry toast. Post aeration with device: Much smoother entry but more tannin on initial finish. No real change in aromas or flavors, just more astringent. Drink today through 2039.
