Tasting notes:
Mid Garnet with a gentle brick red ruby depth.
Fresh and lifted with warm spice and gentle fruit expression. Complex earthy humitic detail across fresh red cherry and subtle smoked herbs, graphite, and mineral dust. Vivid, lifted and perfumed fruit with a charming rose petal dimension – almost festive. Deep fresh fruit of plum and cherry. Complexity set well with the bright fruit and some brown spice rack. There’s a subtle hint of Negroni amongst the whole bunch perfume.
Fresh and very succulent – a lovely plush entry with dark cherry and subtle smoky herb complexity with graphite. Long and deep with cherry pips, real core and depth but open knit. Polished and gentle tannins flow over silky acid - generous. Great volume with no hint of heaviness - excellent approachability even celebratory.

“A bouquet loaded with personality and pinosity. Aromas of minerality and dried herb then a core of red berry fruits from red currant to wild raspberry then cherry and red apple. Layers of older wood add complexity and depth. Taut, salivating, fruity and dry on the palate. Firm tannins and acidity are abundant, adding in texture and mouthfeel as well as foundation. Fruit flavours reflect the bouquet. A youthful and engaging wine with energy, charm reflecting place and time. Best drinking from 2023 through 2030.”

“Delicately-scented pinot noir with floral, violet, red rose, spice, anise, thyme, cherry and subtle spicy oak. Fine tannins form a gently peppery backbone and extend the already lengthy finish. An intriguing wine with supple and seductive texture.”
