Light orange hue. I can’t believe this is pinot noir. Blind-tasting this, I’d guess Barolo for sure. So much effusive minerality with a decadent touch to the savory berries, iron, dried oranges and touches of caramel and soy sauce. Almost fruitless, but so savory and minerally, with great tension and fine tannins. Long and pure. From 1.13 hectares of pinot noir of massale selection without rootstocks. Vines are 12 years old. Around 40% of limestone. Fermented in small tanks with 40% whole bunches. Aged in French oak barrels (second, third and fourth use). 6,000 bottles made. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Talinay Pai from Limarí was made with grapes from massal selections of Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin, 40% fermented with stems. It was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels sourced from famous areas such as Fontainebleau, Jupille, Bertrange, Tronçais and Allier. Garnet with a terracotta sheen in the glass. The aromatic profile presents sweet and sour cherry, damp earth and dried flower notes over a bed of nutmeg and cigar box. Pure silk in the mouth with intense flavor. The lactic flow and precise freshness create a taut, voluminous palate, underlined by a saline character that lingers at length. A rare beauty from Chile.
