I’m not sure how this slipped through the cracks as I think this has moved on to the 2012 vintage now. Regardless, I think this ’11 needs a few more years to grow into its skin, the oak sweetness rather notable on what seems a little lighter and more herbal style than some vintages. Still, the texture is spot-on – quite full and luxurious despite the herbal edge, making for a another successful Holyman Pinot Noir.
