Tolosa 1772 – Pinot Noir 2015 – Edna Ranch – Edna Valley

The nose is fresh and mineral. It reveals notes of flowers, plum and slight touches of blackberry, blueberry associated with hints of liquorice, tobacco, rock (terroir) as well as a very discreet hint of pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, tight and offers a beautiful minerality, freshness, gourmandise, tension, precision as well as a slight straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy Quetsche plum and black cherry associated with slight hints of toasted oak, minerality as well as subtle touches of chocolate / mint (in the background). Tannins are well-built. Good length and good persistence. The aftertaste is slightly powerful.
