Leyda, Las Brisas Pinot Noir 2006
So the football season is coming to a close and it’s time to start thinking about cricket. England will entertain two wine nations, New Zealand and South Africa, in the 2008 summer’s international test matches. Tonight I am preparing for the season by drinking wine from a non cricketing nation. On my world tour of Pinot Noirs, this latest is another one from the Wine Society Chilean PN mixed case (£82), and is the second from the Leyda stable.
Smelling sweet like fresh organic waste destined for the compost heap, fruit, potato peelings and bark to be precise. The taste is nice and quite potent like alien dung, cherry lips and tomato.
Very interesting wine. Something different. Well worth 7 and half of my English punts.
