Deep red colour with a good rim of purple, the bouquet reserved and plummy, high ripeness and with a suggestion of dried fruits. The palate is medium-bodied, quite rich and has a lot of firm, drying tannins. It's not a highly-perfumed pinot, tending a little dry-red-ish. Terrestrial rather than aerial. 01 OCT 2021 Drink 2021–2028

Vines in their youth, or Jeunesse, are not yet mature enough to communicate fully all the complexities of their soils and site. Issued from several younger parcels at Rippon, Jeunesse remains a pure and precise expression of its variety: Pinot Noir. As such, this wine is much like a child’s crayon drawing: vibrant, spirited, endearing.
