The 2020 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is spicy, savory and fine. leading with wild thyme and dried herbs, cherry, blood plum skin, white pepper, tobacco and brine. The wine is less supple than the Moonlight Race, which is immediately appealing and open, but far more complex and unfurling through the finish. This is long and complex and intriguing in its outlay of flavor. It is floral, but it has a swathe of sweet meat character that just sits at the perimeter of the wine. There’s raw cocoa and a hint of black tea to close. Exciting wine. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.
Burn Cottage Description
Early season was quite changeable with cool temperatures at times, accompanied by regular rainfall in November and December. One impact of this was that flowering extended over a long period. Temperatures rose favourably to bring good summer conditions through January, and February had fine weather interspersed with higher than average rainfall. Conditions were mild in March, with some cooler days, and the fruit benefited from a slow extended ripening preserving balance and acidity.
It’s thrilling, lacy, delicate, and focused. Exciting wine, exciting drinking. It sits on the palate nicely—evenly weighted, and it spools through the long finish
