Escarpment Pinot Noir 2014 Raymond Chan 18.5/20 Bob Campbell 92/100 Stephen Tanzer 89/100 Burghound 91/100
Very dark, deep, ruby-red colour with slight black hues at the heart and lighter purple on the rim. The nose is fresh and firmly concentrated with ripe and vibrant fruit aromas of dark red berry and black cherry fruit harmoniously entwined with dark herbs and background whole bunch stalk complexities. The aromatics build in depth and intensity with aeration, unfolding classical violet florals and spice elements.
Medium-full bodied, the fruit is rich and plush, and vibrantly succulent, showing flavours of dark red berry fruit and black cherries with complexing dark herb and whole bunch stalk detail. The palate is firmly concentrated with fine-grained tannin extraction in support, balancing the lusciousness. Vigorous and vibrant dark red and black-fruited Pinot Noir with herb complexities and plenty of structure.
