2018 Marco Lubiana Pinot Noir, Derwent Valley

I'll say this in the introduction, rather than the note, but this tastes like Pinot Noir by way of Foillard Morgon.Dark cherry, clod earth, spice, dried roses, a bit of lift. It's ripe and earthy, blood plum, dried herbs, distinct 'mineral' feel, rich silty tannin, an amaro bite dusted with cocoa, bright and rich at once with a stony cherry pip finish of excellent length. Character plus. Natty, but nice. It's a terrific expression of Pinot Noir.
