A nice image of a wine that I’m still trying to find in my glass…
‘Pinoir’ by Bodega Cauzon 2018, a high altitude Pinot Noir from the Sierra Nevada near the city of Granada in Andalusia Spain, for sure cool climate and very promising!
A great nose with edgy Pinot Noir farming aromas of fresh cut dry hay and herbs, a lot of cellar moistness and very little brown sugar and Forest berries, quite Pinot! The color is beautiful as well, clean, bright and beautiful.
I have to look for it while tasting, at first it is not polished at all and the cold night and warm days did not do the magic I was hoping for. It disappears a little to quick for my tastebuds, but I’m likeing the naked no wood effort. I recommend not to cool it down to much, the light 11,5% need time and some warmth and loving in the glass to open up, but it is worth a word or two and it is a new wine experienced!
