The 2012 Pinot Noir Goosepen Block comes from 14-year-old vines and was picked October 1, undergoing punch downs three times per day and aged in French oak for 17 months, one-third new. It has a very "2012" bouquet, quite opulent in style with kirsch, raspberry jam, potpourri and rose petal scents, becoming more and more floral in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp and poised with very well-judged acidity. I like the harmony here and the delicate dab of spice toward the finish. Tasted both in England and in Oregon, it actually tasted more ebullient in the former, but displayed more finesse in the latter. Either way, this is very fine.
