Marco Lubiana Pinot Noir 2023

This Pinot Noir is difficult to pigeon whole because it is elegant, textural, concentrated and powerful all in one. A generosity of concentrated red cherry and blue berry fruits greet you on entry and then reveals a silky texture through the mid palate, with subtle granite, wild undergrowth and mushroom characters, mildly spiced oak, violet flowers and a hint of blood orange. This wine is going to live a long life as well, as an underlying power of firmly grained tannins and a balanced level of acidity creates some freshness, resulting in impeccable structure. It will easily keep developing over the next decade and well suited to pair with Crispy Duck Pancakes or Lamb Shanks with red wine and Rosemary.
