The 2020 vintage of this was also a Suckling 99:
This is a wine we have not yet seen from Tolpuddle. It has such well-curated complexity and whole-bunch influence (40%) sits in the sweet spot. It is concentrated, yet so elegant and the vivid freshness that pervades every aspect of the nose and palate is striking. Aromas of red fruit, such as raspberry, strawberry, red cherry and red plum are framed in spice and fragrance. The palate has such impressive definition and clarity and the tannins are so detailed, fine and clear-cut. Concentrated red and darker cherries are fleshy, yet elegantly focused, and the acidity laces it all up so clearly. So drinkable now and for a decade at least.
I have to say, this incredible Pinot Noir may have impressed us even more than the Chardonnay did. (But then, we’re mighty partial to Pinot Noir.) From the first sniff it was apparent that this was world-beating Pinot. But it’s even better on the palate: with just an incredibly smooth, flowing and even flavor of perfect Pinot Noir.
