Rochford Dans les Bois Pinot Noir 2023
$54, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, (Upper) Yarra Valley.

This is a highly structured pinot noir with length to burn. It has the Upper Yarra written all over it. It tastes of cranberry, orange peel, twiggy herbs and leaf matter, with creamy, smoky, cedarwood oak layered over the top. This is one of those light-but-insistent wines, in the most positive of ways. 93/100 now, with the high chance that it will score higher in time.
