Renzaglia, Pinot Noir, Orange, 2024

Slightly turbid appearance to the mid garnet hue. Warm tea bun, soft raisin, cherry flesh, raspberry, orange peel, whole bunch undergrowth and earthiness punched by clove spice. Fine structure, taut with a regional elegance. Whole bunch giving spice to red fruit, tacky and waxy phenolics. Tannins are a little coarse, but still fine. Quality of fruit is there, just missing a little depth and complexity.
