2011 Pinot Noir, Kusuda Wines, Martinborough
"Just 5,864 bottles produced. Aged for 17 months in barriques (22% new) and bottled after a coarse filtration and no fining. Pale ruby. Rather more obviously ripe on the nose than the 2010 but beautifully elegant and expressive with some notes of violets and autumn undergrowth. Still youthful, a sort of unfurled flower. Perhaps I mean bud?! Yes, it is probably like one of those paper flowers you set on water and watch them unfurl. A little kiss of tannin on the finish. Long. Very delicate but it expands on the far finish and seems to nourish the entire digestive system. I am, as you can tell, a fan". (18/20 Jancis Robinson)
