Crystallum Cuvée Cinéma Pinot Noir 2024

This lovely Pinot Noir shows its signature nose of confected cherry, sweet spice and rose melding with smoke, wild herbs and a saline edge. The palate is a touch richer and more opulent than its predecessor, with dark chocolate, soy, plum and aniseed adding a savoury counterpoint to the lifted, fresh red fruit. Grippy, slightly waxy tannin and bright acidity hold everything in balance, making for an extraordinarily long finish and guaranteeing ageing through 2035
