The Boussole Pinot Noir displays ripe strawberry fruit flavours with secondary aromas of sous-bois and menthol.
Soli, Edoardo Miroglio, 2012
Country: Bulgaria, Thracian Valley
ABV: 13%
This wine is a medium brick colour with black cherry, coffee, smoke and spicy aromas. The flavour is complex and elegant with a touch of smoky oak, supple vanilla cream, cherry, rhubarb, strawberry, cinnamon, sweet tannins and a long aftertaste.
Les Deux Cimes,2012
Country: Switzerland, Valais
ABV: 13.5%
Eight months in French oak have given a wine of both red and black fruits in the nose, enrobed with gentile spiciness. This is a luxurious wine in the mouth with Gentile tannins and plenty of alcohol to carry all the aromas to the long lasting finish.
Malterdinger, Weingut Bernhard Huber, 2011
Country: Germany, Baden
ABV: 13.5%
This Pinot Noir is complex yet very elegant. Deep ruby red colour with a nose full of fruit. Packed with juicy red fruit and black cherry characters, the palate develops into a delicate earthiness. Velvety and soft tannins on the finish.
Little Beauty Limited Edition, 2013
Country: New Zealand, Marlborough
ABV: 13%
Having matured in French oak for a year, this Pinot Noir is somewhat reminiscent of many Beaune wines. There are aromas of juicy black cherries, cassis and a delicate earthiness. On the palate it has a savoury character with soft dusty tannins, cherry pie, dark berry fruit, raspberry, and peat smoke
Seven Springs, 2012
Country: South Africa, Hermanus
ABV: 14%
This is a beautifully balanced, vibrant wine; garnet in colour, with delicate woodland and truffle undertones. Offering opulent aromas of raspberries, cherries and strawberries, the oak is subtle, supporting the fruit-driven profile of this wine. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with bold fruit characters balance well with the oak.
