Saturday, January 28, 2006 - Pale garnet core, wide mahogany rim with distinct orange hue at edge.
Medium + intense ripe strawberry pinot fruit, attractive development evident on spicy overlay. Mellow and attractive.
Dry, medium + acidity and low/medium resolved tannins. Nice weight on the palate with ripe mellow strawberry fruit, attractive savour, spice and some gamey hints. Notes of iron and earth emerging on a good length, satisfying finish.
Excellent mature burgundy, well balanced with attractive flavours. Drinking well now, should hold for at least 3-5 years.
