Monday, December 1, 2014 - Tasted blind in a Pinot flight. Reductive, matchstick, heavily toasted oak aromas dominate the nose. Deeper fruit underneath, dark, musty. Is this really Pinot? Reticent on the palate, quite tannic, dried fruits, stewy, achieves a strange combination of heavily toasted new oak and the taste of old barrels. Short finish. Difficult to believe this is a Pinot. Butch, bruising. When the label was revealed it was quite a disappointment. Maybe it will come good one day but at the moment it represents very poor value.
