Deep burgundy. Really well perfumed with wild strawberry and herbaceous elements. The palate is so rich with cherry, backed up by the strawberry and crunchy, savoury notes suggestive of whole bunch fermentation and aniseed. This is so refined and elegant.
My wife actually nearly called this old world, but the brightness of fruit gave it away. Bargain wine, but 99 points it’s not (unless scoring relative to price, maybe?)

Recently been on a roll of “ok” Pinot, this really hit the spot. Fantastic village level wine, in a good spot. Colour is burgundy, nose shows bright raspberry and some spice. Palate backs this up with fresh raspberry, some darker fruits, sous bois, mushroom and spice. Good depth and reasonable length for this level.
Matching with cassoulet really drew out the savoury elements. Sadly price has doubled for this since I bought it

Great Australian rendition of an oxidative sherry-style wine. Flor notes are strong on the nose and palate - hazelnut, salinity, and then citrus.
