  Right at pnp, seriously roped pomegranate fruit aroma. Almost comes off with some eucalyptus a la AUS.
  Palate is loaded with fruit. I can see where the port comments can come from. Lots of mineral inlay, but really really packed full of character.

  Dark red/crimson in color. Gorgeous aromas of lifted spices like cinnamon & mint, candied dark red berries and dark florals. Generous and juicy palate shows spicy candied red berries, medium acidity, fully absorbed tannins and a long floral and fruity finish.

  Corked. What a bummer, this was my last bottle and the previous one was so delicious :(

  What a youthful, vibrant wine for a 12 yr old Pinot! The color shows no relevant signs of its age. Fruit forward and packed with intense notes of cranberry, black cherry, pomegranate and vanilla. Great structure and a pleasure to drink

  Intense ripe cherries and smoke with a hint of vanilla on the nose. Soft fruits on the palette with dusty soft tannins and uplifting acidity. This is a very nice subtle and gentle wine.
