Owen Bargreen – 2017 Tendril Extrovert Pinot Noir

The really good 2017 ‘Extrovert’ received 100% whole cluster fermentation and is Tony Rynders’s boldest expression of Pinot Noir. Ripe black fruits collide with copious minerals and shades of tar, anise and baking spices on the palate. With good viscosity and finesse, and a soft mouthfeel, this is only starting to hit its stride and can easily go for another fifteen years. Drink 2022-2036
