Alta Pavina, Citius Pinot Noir, Castilla y Léon, Spain 2017

A ripe but grippy Pinot from Castilla y León that wears its raspberry, redcurrant and red liquorice notes on its sleeve, but there’s a reassuring savoury flipside too. On the mid-palate the punchy fruit is complemented by white pepper and mushroom and light, dancing tannins. A world-class Pinot Noir.
