Nice deep, bright red-purple colour; with a powerful dark-cherry aroma, blueberry and spices, the fruit driving the bouquet. The wine is intense and full of flavour, a substantial pinot with serious depth and texture, structure and persistence. Points: 95/100
Tasted soon after bottling, although it’s headed to market quickly, but more time in bottle will help to build depth. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very good. I like it a lot, thanks to its wave of richness – an amalgam of dark cherries, charcuterie, woodsy spices, some blood orange and a whiff of autumn. It's fuller bodied, with more sweet fruit caressing across the palate and meeting up with plush, supple tannins. Refreshing acidity to close. Points: 96/100
