Pinot noir Cincuenta y Cinco 2016
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.
