Medium red/purple, very fresh looking colour. Spicy red fruit aromas with an underlay of parsnip. Dried herbs later. The palate is bold and fresh and young, with a thread of acidity running through, A firm, tight, slightly tannic wine, which seemed to put on more flesh the longer it aired. There is good richness and density, and it has potential. Seriously good pinot.05 JUL 2013 Drink 2014–2024

Dense yet supple Pinot Noir with a silken texture. Dark fleshed plum and black cherry flavours with a suggestion of violets together with wood smoke and spice flavours. Very classy wine with power delivered with consummate subtlety03 APR 2013
