With rosehip, cranberry, walnut and leather notes evoking Premier Cru Volnay, this has papable ripeness, but subtlety, too, with hints of pot-pourri, clove and lily. The tannins are more supple and developed than most red Burgundy of the same age, and the palate begins full, rich and easy, before refining to filigree intricacy and soaring complexity on the finish. Already spectacular, this doesn't require keeping to be appreciated, although its evident ripeness is kept in check by a vital vein of acidity running through it. Outstanding.

Winemaking
Fruit is hand picked into 10kg baskets. Fruit is sorted and mostly destemmed ( up to 5% whole bunches is used) to concrete tanks for fermentation without innoculation. Wine was then transferred to barrels and went through MLF in late Spring without innoculation. Bottled after 11 months in barrel.
Press Review
The 2024 Balnarring Pinot Noir is perfumed and fragrant and quite different in character compared to the 2023 tasted alongside. Where the former was powerful, structural and condensed, this is floral, perfumed and fresh. I love the way this wine performs. There is levity here and minerality too. The tannins are structural and chalky through the long finish. This is very good. It doesn't break stride at any point. Drink 2025-2039. 96/100.
