Purple Hands Haakon/Lenai Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

The Haakon/Lenai Vineyard Pinot Noir shows elegant notes of pomegranate, cola, spicy tobacco, roasted dark cherry, blackcurrant, rhubarb, allspice, juniper berry and rose petal with fine tannins. Dry Farmed, & Organically farmed. Aged 11 Months in French Oak Barrels, 40% New. The Haakon/Lenai Vineyard was planted in 1998, from certified organic estate fruit (777, Pommard, Wadenswil, 115, and 114 Dijon clones) on a deep pan of Jory soils. In the glass, the 2023 Pinot Noir Haakon/Lenai offers a bright ruby red hue and has more nervous tension compared to the Latchkey Vineyard, initially revealing focused notes of bright spices before starting to unravel more complex aromas of compact wild berries, dark berries, fresh wild herbs, sage, tarragon, and cardamom. It offers a medium-bodied frame, with coiled tannins, balanced acidity, and its sunny fruit shining through on the finish. The 2023 Pinot Noir Haakon Lenai floods the senses with expressive raspberry, wild cherry, hibiscus, licorice, rose petals and slowly emerging earthy accents. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with perfumed, layered flavors. It's framed by velvety tannins, and fireworks of fresh acidity drive a long, shimmery finish with latent spicy tones. It should be long lived in the cellar. Handsomely structured and silky in texture, with multilayered raspberry and guava flavors that are endowed with orange peel, cardamom and other dusky spices as this gathers length and breadth toward polished tannins.
