  Holy cow, this wine left everyone speechless tonight. This is seriously good juice. I’ve never scored a wine 100, and not sure why this didn’t qualify other than I’ve n ver done it before. This is as close to a perfect wine as I’ve had. For those getting into it now, I did a 1 hour decant and it was singing right away.
  
  Cheers

  Wow. It's very rare to find a Pinot Noir with weightless texture and ultra fine tannins while loaded with complex layers of darker red fruit flavor profile intermixed with some Asian spice notes. The concentrated flavor profile is balanced with great refreshing acidity (vibrancy) resulting from cool climate of 2021 vintage. This specific weightless characteristic differentiates across Dumol pinot noirs from 2018 to 2021 vintages i had tasted. This may explain why it's got a perfect score.
  
  This is a cellar collection. Given the cool climate producing great backbone (from acidity), this wine will age well over 20+ years and may be best wait for 5+ years for all the great components to integrate and also allow the bouquet to develop in year 7-10. However, given its unique texture, one may want to coravin the wine and follow it through over next few months.

  A pretty great pinot. DuMol is a phenomenal producer and this Macintyre Estate vineyard is something special. At first got a lot of oak but as it progressed this really developed. A darker Pinot black cherry, black raspberry, oak and spice. Second day there was a lot more minerality and earthiness. Glad I have another bottle to see how it develops.
