Found this hidden away in the cellar, oops, should of opened this a while ago.
Popped the cork, still good!
Nose: some fruit left, baked blackberry and current. Asian spice, Cola, leather and way too much oak... you Americans and your over oaking
Palate not as appealing buy very similar to the nose in flavor profile with more oak on the palate.
Overall I was impressed it was still good, but the oak was too much and a far better wine could have been made here. Drink up I feel this falling apart in my glass as I type. 90+ points

PnP, consumed over 3 hours. Nice mix of cherry, strawberry, forest floor, and baking spices. Medium to light bodied, good mix of acids and light soft tannins. Drinking very nicely.

This drank above my expectations. Really nice red fruits, classic Dundee funk which was no where near overbearing, all held together by a driving acidity. I expect this to have a few good more years before the acid becomes too prominent.

Served a little too warm but still showed that nice red fruit with a bit of baking spices I associate with Dundee pinot. Deserved a little more air than we gave it as well.
