Drinking Tonight - 2012 County Line Pinot Noir

Recovering from a couple of days cold, I was up for some juicy, upfront Pinot but without any heat or jammy fruit. I had read good things about this producer and grabbed a bottle of the state monopoly´s shelves.

2012 County Line Pinot Noir
The nose is just what I looked for, a juicy, fresh nose with notes of frozen raspberries, rhubarb, forest floor and dried spices. Light but at the same time shows a nice depth. Very good.
The taste is easy going, young and fresh with notes of red currants, raspberries, liquorice and forest floor. It is a tad warm in the finish which I think will subside with age. It is good, it is easy to drink, it is very well made, but I had expected a bit more complexity for 30 Euro. Or am I just grumpy?
86p   (tasted 2013/12)

    Inte provat 2012 ännu (inte riktigt på samma nivå som vanligt enl rapporterna), men gillat de föregående årgångarna, speciellt med något drygt år i flaska. Inte på samma nivå som Sussmans andra viner under etiketten Radio-Coteau, men gott och charmigt.

    Priset, ja. Kostar under 200 over there, men här har vi ju monopolets påslag, plus att någon skall bemöda sig med att ta hit grejerna. Bergman tog väl 159 DKK? Sen är det ju ingen direkt massproduktion, 2000 lådor gjorda...
