I have followed this tiny producer for many years and written up a number of his Pinot Noirs. He is still on top of his game.
The 2016 Kusuda Pinot Noir has flavours of strawberry, red cherry and a bit of mushroom. The main feature of this light to medium-bodied wine is how delicate the wine is while still persistent on the palate. It has phenolic ripeness and some lifted aromatics. I wish there would have been slightly higher acidity to drive the wine a bit more, but this is a minor quabble.
Score: 96/+++
