Few of Yeringberg wines show vintage variation to quite the same extent as the Pinot Noir.

Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2015 has a sense of brooding depth to the nose, which is laden with notes of raspberry, violet and cherries, overlaid with a layer of earthy, sappy perfume.

Once again, the age of the Yeringberg Pinot Noir vines brings balance to the wine, which is both pretty and powerful.

The palate, with its deliciously fleshy mid-palate, offers notes of spiced plum and salumi that cushion the superfine but equally serious tannins.

Never showy, but with loads of promise, this needs a good decant or better still, 5-6 years in a cellar.
