The 2012 Pinot Noir Delara is only made in selected years. It is matured entirely in new oak (Mercurey) for 23 months and comes from Pommard clones and in this year they did one pump-over and then left it for four days before the alcoholic fermentation commenced. The new oak comes through too strongly on the nose, which is a shame because it covers what appears to be some lovely black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with intense black spicy fruit but the wood component reigns over the finish and turns this just a little generic and predictable. The question is whether the fruit will remain in situ by the time that new oak is subsumed.
