  Decanted for 3 hours. Ruby red, cherry and a hint a raspberry, bottle age brought some leather and mushrooms but still retained a fruity, floral edge. Medium finish, will drink now, not sure further development will occur

  {screwcap} Pale garnet. Quite espressive and youthful nose of bright cherry pips with a gentle smoky overtone. The palate is light-medium-bodied, with gentle grapey tannins, and cherry, smoke and herb flavours. It's quite fruity and clean and all very new-world, but seems dry, none-the-less. Light-medium bodied, it's a bit scattered in its impact on the palate, and has a short-medium finish. At the right price it's a pleasant pinot, flavourful enough to stand up to hearty fare or outdoor drinking, but clearly intended for youthful drinking.

  Beautiful ruby color with a cherry and sightly floral nose. Palate hits you with a main line of red cherry and raspberry with the same floral influences. Very slightly tart, in a good way, with a light body and medium acidity. Mild tanins and a fairly long finish complete the experience. Very nice but not epic.

  Sweet sweet black cherry and raspberry fruits. Concentrated but not yet cloying. Still quite quaffable but the big pillar of fruits runs through most of the wine with maybe some earth and fresh florals. Attractive but not
  Sure if there is any potential to aging this.
