Akitu A2 Pinot Noir 2018 750 ml bottle VINTAGES

Pale-ish sherry red in colour, this is bright, aromatic and textured with nice silky cherry and raspberry fruit, with some real elegance. There's a sweetness to the fruit, which has some dried herb and spice notes. Floral and supple with a nice graininess on the finish. This is so drinkable, and there's some structure to boot, with fine-grained structure. Light, very approachable, fresh and very drinkable. Benefits from a decant, which really opens up the structure. Score - 94. (Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com, Dec. 15, 2021)
