As with the Chardonnay, the 2017 Aconcagua Costa “Las Pizarras” Pinot Noir is also fresher and sharper than the 2016 I tasted next to it, despite the year being somewhat warmer. They used 20% full clusters for the fermentation in open tanks. The ?levage was in 35% new French oak barrels and lasted some 14 months. This feels very young and fruit-driven, open, aromatic, exuberant and, in a way, less mineral than the 2016. Perhaps it’s only a matter of age, but this doesn’t seem to have the same level of complexity and depth. I see this more in line with 2015. 10,000 bottles were filled in May 2018.
