2022 Josef Chromy Pinot Noir

A light, elegant, red fruited Pinot that shows some tension.

Semi translucent dark red core with black toned edges and a light vibrant red hue. Fragrant red cherry, winter strawberry and rhubarb scents infused with fresh herbs are followed by hints of stalk and subtle smoky cedar like notes. Light in body, savoury red cherry, winter strawberry and spicy rhubarb flavours decorate the palate underpinned by fresh acidity. Slightly bony tannins provide plenty of structure with some dried herb, forest floor and graphite elements in the background. Finishes elegant and red fruited with some tension.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews…..
I like the smoked meat and struck-flint edge to this wine that shows lovely ripe, dark cherry, mulberry and wild cherry tones. There's a subtle gaminess below that fruit with five-spice and Chinese barbecue shop notes along with amaro, wood spice, dried citrus rind and pressed blossom. Medium bodied with a touch of sour cherry and dried herbs, bright acidity and a complex, lingering retreat. Drink by 2035.
