  September 4, 2016 - Dark colour for a Pinot! Nose of black cherry, vegetal, with some a touch of fungus/stem/wood, some toasted oak. Round in the mouth but also with high acidity, a fairly tight palate with some grainy tannins, dark fruited, touch of spice. A bit too dark and firm. Better in time?

  August 6, 2015 - SPN last minute offline: Stems, smoke, meat and some autumn leaves. The palate has some layered fruit, however it does fall away slightly short. Drink now.

  January 31, 2014 - Described by the wine-maker as "fresh blood in your mouth!" If that sounds bad, it's not supposed to - he was referring to the high minerality which does indeed tend to Iron. It is a tannic wine, but fruit and oak flavours are there too and good long mouthful.

  December 24, 2012 - A dark red for a Pinot , the nose has damp earth , stem and sap on opening , with time in the glass dark cherry and cinnamon begin to hold their own.
  
  The palate has a savoury edge with drying dark fruits , commanding tannins and sandalwood spices, the finish is long with coffee like oak characters.
  
  The 2008 is still just a baby in terms of future development, and a Pinot for the cellar.

  Nose: Clean, Medium minus intensity, developing, some red berry, light white pepper, cedar
  Mouth: dry, medium minus acid, medium tannin and alcohol, tannins are talcy, red berry, cherry, plum and slight pepperiness. A long finish that grows on the front of the mouth with alcohol heat.
