{screwcap, 12.5%} This is a lovely pinot. Rotting strawberries, hint of leaf, sweet compost. Very much bruit-driven, but in a classy way. The palate is barely medium-bodied, with a slightly syrupy, jammy quality to the red flavours, nicely judged low-level oak, the finest low-level dusty tannins, and a tingly, luxurious finish of medium length. Very rich and decadent. Will likely age nicely for a while, although I'd expect more overt tannin and acid for this to justify longer cellaring. Don't hesitate now if the occasion warrants.

Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 12.5%, A$75} Sweet strawberry fruits on the nose, almost with a medicinal touch. Juicy and spicy palate, classy, dry and savoury. Medium-weight, with a medium/long finish. Plenty of acid to maintain freshness. Judicious oak. Should see a decade easy.
