Evoled nose - dark cherry, undergrowth, peppermint, hints of mushroom and oyster. Real depth of fruit, red, black and plenty of spice to freshen the finish. Delicate floral notes added at the finish on Day 3. Gives Burgundy a run for its money.

Even better than before. See previous note. Clear clean wine. Reticent nose of dark fruit. Deep pinot noir on palate rising to an almost Wagnerian climax towards the end of second bottle.

No sediment or ullage. Clear deep garnet. Classical pinot fruit on nose and palate in great richness. Tannins only in support. Would hold its own with anything that Burgundy could offer. Brilliant!
