The Ayoub 'Estate' Pinot Noir is an utterly compelling wine, displaying a lovely translucent color and showcasing a wonderful brownish hue. This Pinot Noir opens with a vivid bouquet of red fruits, guava puree, black truffles, cedar shavings and suggestions of Mandarin orange rind. This is beautifully balanced with a gorgeous silky texture, showing remarkable structure and fruit weight, as it remains precisely focused through the lithe, and simply gorgeous finish. While this is already showing a ton of early appeal, I expect this to age beautifully over the next decade and even beyond. (Best 2017-2030) - April, 2017 (OB)
