Pinot Noir Twenty Twenty
Elegant and bright on the palate, with plump red fruits, dark plum and black cherry alongside black pepper spice, smoky notes and an earthy minerality to give a wine with complexity, finesse and a persistent finish.

REALLY SHOWS THE PROMISE OF ENGLISH PINOT NOIR.
Mid youthful purple red; a particularly pretty black cherry fruit scent, persistent too; medium full, fresh, delicately tannic, with a touch of residual CO2; sweet, pure, gently juicy, long and subtle to taste, a real aromatic complexity here, and with excellent aromatic, lightly spicy length. This is very good indeed and, as with the earlier wines, really shows the promise of English Pinot Noir. On the cusp of lesser 1er Cru.
A CLASSY DIMENSION.
Judicious oaking adds a classy dimension to Gusbourne’s gorgeous, savoury, mocha-led 2018 Boot Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir.
SLENDER AND DELICATE.
Ripe, red cherry notions on the nose come with a restraining sense of smokiness. The palate, slender and delicate, then adds lovely pepper spice while translucent, silky tannins fold gently around that lithe body.
ethereal charm
A delightful nose with summer pudding, strawberry and blackberry to the fore, then a little spice and a hint of menthol and eucalypt. The palate is soft and approachable, acidity finely balanced but far from obtrusive, hints of spice and pepper from the oak. The ethereal charm belies harmonious weight and a texture which will work well, gastronomically speaking. The finish is poised and persuasive, soft spice framing the edifice very agreeably. 92 points
