:53:26
Mmm.
:53:28
Ahh.
:53:31
You know, can I ask you
a personal question, Miles?
:53:35
Sure.
:53:37
Why are you so into pinot?
:53:39
I mean, it's like a thing with you.
:53:43
Uh... I don't know. I don't know.
:53:46
Um... it's a hard grape to grow.
:53:50
As you know. Right?
:53:52
It's, uh- It's thin-skinned...
:53:55
temperamental, ripens early.
:53:58
It's- You know, it's not a survivor...
:54:00
like cabernet...
:54:02
which can just grow anywhere...
:54:04
and thrive even when it's neglected.
:54:07
No, pinot needs constant care
and attention. You know?
:54:11
And, in fact, it can only grow...
:54:13
in these really specific,
little tucked-away corners of the world.
:54:19
And- And only...
:54:21
the most patient
and nurturing of growers...
:54:26
can do it, really.
:54:28
Only somebody
who really takes the time...
:54:31
to understand pinot's potential...
:54:35
can then coax it
into its fullest expression.
:54:38
And then? I mean-
:54:41
Oh, its flavours, they're just
the most haunting and brilliant...
:54:44
and thrilling and subtle and...
:54:49
ancient on the planet.
:54:56
No, I mean, you know, cabernets
can be powerful and exalting too...
:54:59
but they seem prosaic to me,
for some reason, by comparison.
