This wine is vividly coloured, with intense black cherry and plum fruit and gamey undertones. The palate is fleshy, with good fruit sweetness and fine, drying tannins with excellent length and structure. This wine is still drinking superbly for a wine made from young vines.

The Burgundian clone 115 appears for the first time as a significant proportion of the wine, adding greater complexity and increasing the wines varietal distinction. Early predictions for this warm vintage wine suggested a short lived but flavoursome wine, but time has not wearied it at all. It has evolved slowly, building in colour and complexity, whilst retaining fruit sweetness, intensity and structure. This wine should continue to improve in the short to medium term.

Picardy Pinot Noir 1996
This first release Picardy Pinot Noir was produced from 2 clones -Upright and Droopy. The palate has good length and integration of oak, fruit and acid. Fruit flavours are in the lighter spectrum by Picardy's standards- with soft cherry and strawberry melding with secondary characters which could be described as briary or earthy. This wine is drinking very well now. Overall this was a great wine off young vines.
For Picardy Pinot Noirs the colour seems to grow as the wines get older. This wine has not yet started to brown.
