past its best. still enticing aroma - surprisingly fruity and fresh, but flavours are fading. still pleasant and elegant on the palate. 75% repurchase probability but, if so, will drink younger

after the 96 and 98 in SA a bit disappointing on balance. A slightly musty nose (initially thought bottle was slightly corked but have tried a number of bottles from the box and they are all the same) a bit acidic and not as fruity as i'd hoped.

Very strong smoky nose to this one, beautiful depth to the bouquet with many different scents coming through. Very powerful pinot to taste, smoky bouquet comes through on the palette along with berry fruits and rich dark chocolate. Amazing length to the finish. A great wine.

Very nice! Good fruit but with substance.

Slightly stewed fruit. Dark and brooding for a pinot. Lots going on, but not fresh enough to merit a better score.
