Joel Gott Pinot Noir - 750ml

Aromas and flavors open with a lively, inviting bouquet that blends bright raspberries with a smooth, velvety undercurrent of milk chocolate. The initial nose is aromatic and fruit-forward, releasing ripe berry sweetness that is gently tempered by the creamy, indulgent edge of dairy, reminiscent of a refined chocolate-covered fruit. As the palate evolves, the berry character broadens to reveal subtler complexity: a whisper of cola—cola notes that contribute a caramelized, cola-bubble brightness without tipping into treacle—alongside a delicate, spiced warmth that hints at cinnamon. This interplay between fruit, chocolate, and spice creates a balanced aromatic profile that is both playful and sophisticated.

On the palate, the texture is medium-full and smoothly delivered, with a rounded mouthfeel that carries the raspberry and milk chocolate through to a lingering, satisfying finish. The raspberry notes stay vibrant, supported by the creamy chocolate backbone, while the cola undertones add an impression of effervescence and depth. The cinnamon appears as a soft, integrated spice rather than a sharp kick, lending a warm spice complexity that lingers and evolves with each sip. The overall impression is one of refined decadence and approachable elegance, inviting slow savoring to fully appreciating the harmony between fruit brightness, creamy chocolate, and nuanced spice. A long, spiced finish leaves a memorable, comforting afterglow.
