I\u2019ve often said that there\u2019s no such thing as a good cheap Pinot Noir but having tried the Jardim Do Bomfim 2009 Pinot Noir, I suspect that I might have to accept that I could have been wrong!<\/p>\n
The unusual name \u201cJardim Do Bomfim\u201d means \u201cGarden of Good End\u201d and the name is fitting for this wine given the strength of its finale. You\u2019d have to say that it\u2019s only a medium bodied wine, but it is mouth-filling and some warmth at the back gives the erroneous impression of a higher than average level of alcohol.<\/p>\n
In the glass, the Jardim Do Bomfim is slightly cloudy, but as the flavours develop across the palate, the ripe but sweet cheery undertones embolden, and a spicy edge develops to carry the fruit into a cedar-lined finish.
\nThere are none of the dominant (and sometimes astringent) oak characters that often spoil the lower cost Pinots, although it\u2019s probably true that in the Jardim Do Bomfim, there is very little by way of tannic backbone for support.<\/p>\n
It might not be the best Pinot Noir going around but at the price point, it\u2019s pretty good value and more than a worthwhile quaffer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
