with a strong almond flavour

The tannins are present and the wine could benefit from a few years hidden away or a simple decanting for an hour or so

This is a powerful yet hands-off Burgundy from the Maranges appellation made by two friends ('ami' is friend in French)

An original English classic

Well-toned and muscular

Xavier Goodridge, Henty Pinot Noir 2021 Nero di Lupo with a strong almond flavourThis is a single vineyard Pinot Noir. It came from a supreme parcel of fruit so Xavier decided to make 4 barrels of this high quality single vineyard expression. Notes of raspberries, cherries and a hint of red plums. It has an elevated bouquet of cherry blossom, green peppercorn, cloves and bitter herbs. Flavours are concentrated, with dark cherry, blood orange, moist earth, meatiness and black pepper spice finish.
