2018 Mayer Dr Pinot Noir

Other Reviews....
This is 100% whole bunch, hence it becomes the ‘Dr’ label in the pinots of Timo Mayer. As an aside, I got to try Timo’s chardonnay brandy, and it is outstanding. It won’t be a release, but do track it down if you do an appointment with him. Outstanding.
Pepper and clove scents over ripe cherry, pomegranate juice and a whiff of Campari. Light Negroni-like flavours in the best kind of way, but the wine is fine-boned, sheathed in a leisurely web of skinsy tannin with pepper and green herb savourinesss accompanying fine, fresh, gently sweet-sour cherry and cranberry flavours. Sleek, long, elegant are good words too. The texture is superb, the drinkability riotous. Savour this.
