Both were superb

serious and lingering finish

the pale to medium ruby-purple colored 2018 Pinot Noir John Sebastiano Vineyard opens with a pow

this is already in its prime time drinking window

Alessandro Mori has also expertly managed the tannins

Aurage other_regions_australia Both were superbDeep garnet with bricky rim. More lifted than the 2007, deliciously spiced on the nose, a succulent spicy sweetness and just a hint of maturity in those mulched leaf notes. Structure is a little firmer here, both in the tannins and the acidity but even so it is really harmonious and elegant on the long finish. Moreish and mouth watering. Oak now nicely in the background. (JH)
