{"product_id":"2024-elanto-vineyard-ironstone-pinot-noir","title":"2024 Elanto Vineyard Ironstone Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eElanto Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula has released two single-site Pinots this vintage, Basalt and Ironstone, side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey're the same grape from neighbouring close-planted blocks, and they taste remarkably different. Ironstone comes from a mid-slope, west-facing patch right next to Basalt, with less top soil. It's the lowest-yielding Pinot site for Elanto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the bigger, darker, more brooding of the pair. Expect black cherries and pomegranate wrapped in earthy, iron-like notes (the name fits), plus alpine herbs, a lick of smoke and some sweet spice. It's juicy right through, with fine, chalky tannins giving it real grip and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it a good decant if you're opening it now, or tuck a bottle away, because it's built to go the distance. A modern Pinot classic and all the more remarkable coming off young vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"the palate is full and rich, deep and concentrated ...
