Errazuriz, Las Pizarras Pinot Noir Size:6x750ml The 2017 Burn Cottage Vineyard

The 2017 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir shows considerable intensity and length

Once again my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt that the dryness will eventually round out with some time in bottle

Lovely juice that is fashioned in an understated and altogether classy style

opulently perfumed fruit followed by medium weight

It will continue to evolve in bottle over the next decade

Errazuriz, Las Pizarras Pinot Noir Size:6x750ml The 2017 Burn Cottage VineyardI also tasted two consecutive vintages of the slate Pinot Noir, and the oldest of the two is the 2016 Aconcagua Costa "Las Pizarras" Pinot Noir, which fermented with 18% full clusters in open vats after a cold soak and had a 20 day maceration. It matured for some 14 months in French barriques, 33% of them new. It has that iodine like or fresh blood note I associate with schist and iron soils. This seems fresher and more precise than the previous 2015,
