Leaning Post Pinot Noir Senchuk Vineyard 2017, Lincoln Lakeshore

Best Pinot I've had in Ontario, easily.

Raspberry, tart cherry, mushroom, fresh fallen leaves, cooked beets, vanilla, tobacco. Ruby, but starting its descent to garnet. Can go a few more years, but don't feel bad about popping it open now. It's hitting its prime.

Henry Of Pelham Baco Noir Old Vines 2019

Nuiton-beaunoy Beaune 2018, A.C.

Dark cherries, cassis and cedar. Decent acidity with smooth tannins. Not quite worth the price, though, and only marginally better than the 2018 Bourgogne Rouge from Nuiton Beaunoy. Drinking well now, but likely doesn't have the stuffing to carry it more than a few years.

Really terrific pinot. Cooked beets and forest floor on the nose, which nicely frames the strawberry-raspberry acidity on the palette. Finish is long. This wine is awesome. Leaning Post are masters of pinot noir!
