Hirsch Raschen Ridge Pinot Noir 2021

Dark strawberry with stone and redwood, with granite undertones. Oyster shell. Some sea breeze as well. Full to medium body with incredible energy and character to this. So vinous and intense. Superb depth and layers. Swan and pommard clones. Amazing wine. Try after 2028 but already a legend in the bottle. [This has the potential to see 2040+.] Score – 100.
