$30, 13% alcohol, DIAM cork, Pays d’Oc France.

This has a bit more substance than your average Pinot Noir but it remains varietal and the effect is impressive. Indeed if I saw this for sale I would snap it up in a heartbeat. Cherry-plum flavours do most of the talking though forest mint, potpourri and sweet cedar characters all contribute. There’s a good, dry pull of meaty tannin through the finish; in fact the more you look the more there is to enjoy. 91 points.
