Les Tamarins Pinot Noir 2025
AU$35, 13% alcohol, screwcap, France.
This wine is about as drinkable and enjoyable as they come. It’s cherried and ripe and savoury-spicy and nutty at once, and it has long, elegant fingers of tannin, which gives it excellent shape. There’s a lot to love here. It basically tastes of cherries red and black with nut, earth and aromatic herb notes tossed through; all of which makes for delicious drinking.
