  From a magnum. Rhubarb and sweet red fruits with a great length. Opened 2 hours before drinking. A lovely burgundy. How do you get that much from Pinot noir?

  Excellent bottle. Cherry, touch of liquorice, earthy, mushrooms. Long and complex with tertiary flavours. Drinking very nicely.

  Feral, gamey, stewed fruits. Very developed, maybe somewhat confected. Dense mid palate but seemed a touch short on the finish.

  Delicate raspberry nose. Pretty. Palate is generous on acidity, but not so generous on fruit. Fairly tannic still, but lacking oomph!

  Relatively light but quite attractive without a huge amount of complexity, fair acidity and a touch of fine tannin, some earthy secondary flavours and a medium finish. It may develop a bit more interest with more time, but I wouldn't like to bet on it.
