Domaine Nico 2022 Pinot Noir Grand Pere 750ml

The 2022 Grand Père originates from Villa Bastías in the Uco Valley and was aged for ten months in French oak, 18% in a 20-hectoliter foudre and 82% in third-use barrels. A bright cherry red in the glass. The nose presents herbal and fruity notes such as sage, sour cherry, subtle earthy undertones and delicate oaky aromas. The palate is lean, taut and refreshing. The interplay of tart flavors and the finely-grained, reactive tannic structure makes for a lively, dynamic experience before the long, compact, complex finish.

Score: 92 points -- Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, 2023
