Generously brought over by Z. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of red licorice, perfumey red flowers, deep red cherries, darker red cherries, light charred oak, brown stems. Youthful. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.3%), medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensirty, with flavours of sweet red licorice, hint of cola, deep red cherries, nicely integrated lightly charred oak. Long finish with stemmy spices. Very good quality. Such an enjoyable drink. Wow nose. Still young and will last a few years well, but why wait.

Incredible aroma at the moment the cork was pulled.
Assertive tobacco, cherry, raspberry aromas
Deep purple red with a tinge of haziness.
Tasted 1 hour after the wine was opened.
Cherry and plum flavors up front giving way to balsa, earth and a pleasing cranberry acidity. Complex. Interesting. Layered.
Superior Pinot Noir with enough acidity and backbone to age at this level and beyond.

Beautiful wine. Red fruit atop this slightly salty ocean breeze. A lot of acidity but still so well balanced. Love it.
