  Premature colour of age that doesn’t reflect the taste. Still very good with significant intensity and balance.

  Very impressive Aussie pinot straight from the off, but it flatters to deceive at times. Even at such a young age this has a nice balance of cherry fruit and some earthy elements. It lacks a bit tannic backbone for such a young wine - it still has that new world sweetness that you tend to get with Aussie/NZ pinot noirs that render it on the more simple side of pinot. Decent and perfectly quaffable. Lacks real complexity. Will age but I think it lacks the structure for long term evolution.
