The 2018 Definitus Pinot Noir Foggy Hill is darker in the glass than the Foggy Hill Pinot tasted beside it, and this wine enters with a rich cascade of cherry and woodsy spice, forest underbrush/sous bois, aged leather and old books. As an avid book collector, this is a positive, evocative, haunting smell for me. The wine has magnificent length and carry through the finish, where it moves across tapenade/caper brine/anchovy complexity. I feel this wine would grow in stature and intrigue over the course of an evening, especially when assigned to a fine Burgundy glass. A lovely wine, with so much to take in. 14% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.
