Errazuriz, Las Pizarras Pinot Noir Vintage:2016 You absolutely know what youI also tasted two consecutive vintages of the slate Pinot Noir, and the oldest of the two is the 2016 Aconcagua Costa "Las Pizarras" Pinot Noir, which fermented with 18% full clusters in open vats after a cold soak and had a 20 day maceration. It matured for some 14 months in French barriques, 33% of them new. It has that iodine like or fresh blood note I associate with schist and iron soils. This seems fresher and more precise than the previous 2015,
