Midnight Tasting April 25th 2024
• Beckham Estate ‘Creta’ 2022 • @beckhamestate •
Pinot Noir
Inspiration : ‘Feel the Sonic Boom’
Color : quite translucent, with a rose red color that thins along the edges.
Clarity : quite clear with no noticeable sediment.
Aroma : powerful nose, cherry and pomegranate, spice, earth, incense and a little musk/dankness.
Taste : so much power, dark cherry and pomegranate juice, rhubarb, anise, incense, touch of earth, white pepper and a hidden power/sound wave/sonic boom.
Big Takeaways
* holds so much energy/power…more a sensation than a flavor
* fully amphora, done in house-made NOVUM amphorae
* great combo of earth and fruit with a touch of dust
Hints
A truly fun wine to fully experience; can easily shock and awe any wine drinker.
Check out a great podcast Andrew Beckham was on talking about his wine and amphorae. *
