Lovely nose of dark berries and spice. The palate is medium bodied, plush with blackberry, blueberry and ripe plums. Licorice, dried herbs and a dash of pepper. Good length on the finish with firm, chalky tannins. Very good but needs time to resolve some of the tannins.

From Bouzy. 70% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir. 25% of fruit from 1999 and 75% from 2000. It does not go through malolactic fermentation. Sweet yellow citrus fruits, with yeasty notes backing in up. Yeah, and some of that aldehyde too. Good complexity.

A feminine-styled pinot. It is delicate and wonderfully perfumed. The producers from the Macedon ranges are onto something. Excellent.
