Delamere Pinot Noir 2024 domaine-collotte Needs decanting but beautiful drinkingThis wine has a very lifted fragrant aroma of delicate strawberries, and fresh raspberries and just a hint of violets. Earthy, savory notes of cedar, potpourri and aniseed are present on a palate showing delicate red currant fruits, framed by fine cocoa power like tannins. The wine travels across the palate with precision and tension. Minerally acidity gives great length to the wine with a lingering impression of violets, dark chocolate and chinotto.
