2016 Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco(1955) Pinot Noir Patagonia

Floral and offering up dark berries and dried strawberries. Hints of dried lemon skin. Fullbodied, very powerful and deep in terms of fruit. Chewy tannins yet they're so polished. Goes on for minutes. Best ever.

The 2016 Cincuenta Y Cinco is a drop-dead gorgeous Pinot Noir from Bodega Chacra. This Pinot Noir was sourced from vineyards planted in 1955, which sit on pebbly riverbed soils. It was fermented whole cluster at very low temperatures and spent 14 Months in French oak barrels. The aromas are gorgeous, opening with fresh strawberries and red berries woven together with spices, herbs and wet stones all taking shape. On the palate the silky texture makes this extremely attractive, as this elegant wines shows remarkable overall balance and tension through the long finish. Absolutely outstanding and will age beautifully. (Best 2019-2030) - November, 2017 (JD).

As its label suggests, this comes from a vineyard that was planted in 1955 and tends to be lighter and more immediate than the 1932 bottling. Scented, smooth and very elegant, with appealing freshness, wild strawberry perfume, tangy acidity and just the faintest whisper of oak. Very long. 2017-22.

Modne kirsebær og blommer, karamel, branket smør og chokolade. Lækker cremet vin med let urtede noter der bryder solskinspræget i denne vin..

...one of the best New World Pinot Noirs I've ever tasted, Bodega Chacra, from the owners of cult "Super Tuscan" Sassicaia.
