From vines located next to Drouhin, planted in 1990 at high density (6-by-3 feet) on its own roots. Cropped at under 1 ton per acre the 2012 Pinot Noir Nysa Vineyard underwent an extended maceration to obtain the fruit quality that was lacking because of the drying wind at the end of the growing season. Deeper in color that Torii Mor's other 2012s, it has a backward bouquet at first that reluctantly opens with dark berry, black tea, juniper berries and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red and black fruit on the entry, interlaced with Asian spices and white pepper. There is clearly a lot of concentration on the mid-palate, but I feel that winemaker Jacques Tardy has managed and integrate them well and the finish feels powerful, not over-powering. This burly, broad-shouldered Pinot needs two or three years in bottle, but it should be well worth the wait.
