Paddy Borthwick Pinot Noir 2019

This is wonderfully ripe and seductive complex, showing Black Doris plum, raspberry, vanilla, cedar and dark mushroom notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate that's fleshy and velvety. It's mouthfilling and richly expressed with terrific fruit power combined with refined mouthfeel, leading to an impressively long satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2026. Score - 94.
