Arius Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

The wine presents green, herbaceous, and slightly edgy aromas with inky notes, alongside hints of cloves, cumin, green stems, smoke, and fresh wood. The fruit notes are not immediately apparent but reveal themselves as darker than expected, with nuances of black cherries and blackcurrants, complemented by sour tobacco, cardboard box, and a touch of mullein woodland floor.

The palate echoes the aromatic profile, leaning towards a green and herbaceous character rather than the light, elegant delicacy of a typical Pinot Noir. Expect a tight, slightly bitter fruit expression with flavors of crushed raspberry, currant, cranberry, and a touch of harsh lemon.
