As previously, strawberry, raspberry & cherry on the nose with hint of mushroom/sous-bois promising depth. Appealing & enjoyable, although it feels like it promises or offers complexity without actually delivering on the palate.

Creamy, sweet cherry. Not much else, like a cherry starbust mixed with cherry yoghurt. Enjoyable, good, and while some interesting dry-green character lurking in background it's still a bit too new world for me. But a nice quaffing pinot.

powerful aroma almost brambly, typical cherry taste with raspberry becoming more prominent on the palate. A medium to light bodied pinot; it has a bit of zing to it, which is a bit different. This wine also has a nice savoury edge and is lifted by drinking with food- in this case some roast chicken.

Mid ruby, quite dark for Pinot. Slight farmyard pong, almost vegetal initially but the fruit came through, raspberry and black cherry. To taste the immediate impression is crunchy red berry fruit, bright acidity, some spice and pepperiness on the finish. This is refreshing and moreish.

nose - sweaty leather, really quite stinky (brett?) distinct smell but not overpowering, some fruit comes through after an hour open. t - after some breathing some nice strawberry fruit comes through, light-medium bodied, some toastiness (not well-intergrated) Quite Burgundian, dry, no jamminess.

Classic strawberry, light, slightly farmy. Pleasant, not outstanding

Seemed much improved. Lovely nose of berries, quite fragrant. Gentle pinot flavours and just very easy drinking. Very good indeed.

Much more acidic on first opening than prev bottle. Softened with air but not as immediately appealing as I remembered.

Enticing strawberry, ripe raspberry & hint of cherry on the nose. Ripe fruit & lovely brambly depth. Smooth tannins, very fresh, really delicious.
