Delicious but a good candidate for the decanter at this point.

Aromatically, almost everything I want from young Pinot. Acid driven, finessed palate with earthy & fruity working in harmony.

I'm a huge fan of rhys and the Alesia wines are usually great values but this one doesn't do it for me. Pretty thin on flavor and not a whole lot of body or structure.

Elegant, but way too young. The aromatics are exquisite. Rhys/Alesia are Pinot Noir savants. This is a whole cluster masterpiece.
