Cono Sur – Ocio 2013 – Casablanca Valley

Moderate colour intensity here, already losing some of its youthful purple colour. More towards medium deep ruby. Fine nose, very perfumed with floral hints, rose petal, ginger, clove, cardamom – those sweet spices. Red fruit such as raspberry, red cherry, jam. Definitely Pinot Noir. A quite soft and subtle texture. Medium weight, with good flavour intensity. The fruitiness is quite ripe fruit, yet with a good presence of freshness. Crisp acidity there. Quite long finish. It is lighter bodied but it keeps lingering and I like the spiciness on the finish. Not a very overt spiciness, but more discreet notes of plum, pepper and ginger. Delicate and juicy style. With very discreet oak and excellent drinkability now. So a fine Pinot Noir I think.
