Lutum, Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir Vintage:2014 Unnecessarily heavy bottleThe 2014 Pinot Noir Durell Vineyard is the most intense and powerful of the Lutum Pinot Noirs. Beams of tannin give the wine its super distinctive shape and size. Bright red and purplish hued fruits, smoke, tobacco, licorice, game and spices give the Durell an element of exoticism that is impossible to miss. Powerful and structured to the core, the 2014 is going to need at least a few years to come into its own. Antonio Galloni
