Fat Bastard Languedoc Roussillon Pinot Noir 2019

The 2019 Fat Bastard Languedoc Roussillon Pinot Noir is a pale ruby hue, with aromas of lifted cherry, rosehip with a hint of bay leaf with underlying notes of allspice and foraged mushroom. While we wouldn't go so far as fat, this unadulaterated expression of Pinot is a juicy, medium bodied offering. Given a bit of breathing room, a certain plumpness unfolds with its ripe raspberry and dense dark cherry fruits. This, combined with its lip smacking cranberry juice-like acidity, fine tannins and hint of smoky spice makes this Pinot incredibly more-ish. Drink over a couple of days to watch this wine evolve... if you can make it last that long!
