 Ric Einstein 2007 

Recently I received the new releases, three of which are from 2005, and in my opinion, they are probably their best wines to date. What makes them even more attractive is the cellar door, mailing list price for people who buy direct from the winery.

Picardy 2004 Tête de Cuvée May 07

The bouquet shows true varietal Pinot characters, with cherry, earthy notes, hints of varnish and boot polish, and whilst the complexity is good, the nuances are subtle. The palate is intensely savoury with sour cherry, milk chocolate, some controlled forest floor characters (it's not overly rustic), leading to a reasonably persistent, drying finish. After many hours of being open, some noticeably cedary oak characters started to emerge. Unobtrusive, silky tannins combine with fresh acid and distinct fruit to form a lean, supple wine that is both tight and elegant. It's very drinkable, even us red bigots could drink a few glasses of this; rated as Highly Recommended with *** for value. This is the wineries flagship product and the one they make to drink for their own enjoyment.
