A very high quality wine. If there's any criticism, it's that its too big and ripe, but it certainly maintains its pinosity. Sour dark cherry (if you don't like sourness in wine, you probably won't like this), cranberry, plum, chocolate and quite distinct earthy truffle and mushrooms. Very mouth filling - elegant it is not - and long. A pinot to covert a shiraz drinker, but without in any way falling over dry red status.

Nice pale crimson transparent color. Pure red fruited pinot nose. Palate is just midweight and is quite primary and simple at the moment. nevertheless there is a lovely lightweighted feel that allows the pinot fruit to sing not hindered by either excessive oak or tingly acid. Nice longish finish though there iisn't a great deal of structure in the wine - so maybe only give it another 2-3 years.
