Oldfield Reseve Pinot Noir 2013

- 90 points -

Muscular, silky, restraint.
Bacon fat dripping on charcoal briquettes, toasted brown spices and tobacco, rainforest floor, and a muddle of dried violets and wild red berries best describes the nose on this wine. It is a more muscular style yet has a silky entry -- then dry powdery tannins kick in mid-palate and cling through the finish. There is a lot of restraint and compression on the palate still; the tannins still hold great influence. 
I would recommend decanting now, or holding this wine for a few years more. 

Pair: Grilled wild salmon, roast beef, slow cooked beef brisket or a caramelized onion and wild mushroom pizza.

À propos de Wine Scores

What is a wine score and how do wine reviewers (I don’t refer to myself as a wine critic, I review wine, I don't criticize it) decide on that score?
A wine score is a numerical rating wine reviewers give to a wine based on a series of elements. Every wine reviewer (or wine critic) has their own method of getting to a conclusive number even if they use similar guidelines to one another.
