Strong crimson-purple; a very rich, layered pinot, with blood plum to the fore, morello cherry in the vanguard; just when you think the fruit is a little one-dimensional, fine, savoury/foresty tannins on the finish haul it into line. Will be long lived.
Clearly the result of an excellent vintage. Tight, lively, refreshing and boasting a powerful spread of flavour through the finish. Bright cherried fruit, shot through with savouriness. Crunchy, apple-like acidity. Autumnal aromas and flavours. Chalky. Will be better given time to develop, but a smashing release.
