Ad Fines 2019

I was surprised to see that I had never officially tasted their Pinot Noir, a wine that is not produced every year, because of the ripeness of the Pinot Noir in this Mediterranean zone is complex. So, I tasted the 2019 AD Fines, a good vintage despite the fact that it was a warm-ish year and perhaps the grape goes better with a cool vintage. It has a varietal nose that is perfumed and floral, with contained ripeness and a juicy palate, perhaps closer to the wines from Chile than the ones from Burgundy. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol at 12.5% and nice balance and freshness with a pH of 3.52. Only 1,500 bottles were filled in October 2020.
