  Lots of tannins. Still quite young. Puckering tannins but refined. Wine is clean and fresh. Amazing for just an OK vintage. Long ways to go for this wine. Might suggest another few years of cellar time.

  Clean cork, branded with the grower's name, year and vineyard designation, 13.5% alcohol according to the label. Decanted and let rest for 2 hours. Pale colour. Typical pinot nose, beetroot, raspberries, sous-bois. Initial attack in the mouth is sour plums, very prominent tannins, gives way to raspberries in the mid-palate and a floral note on the finish. Really quite like a mature Barolo with the austere tannins supporting the red fruits and earthy notes. Dances across the mouth, refreshing, more'ish. Lovely stuff. Seems to be still bursting with life, no hurry with these.

  TN: Quite dark ruby color, almost claret! A nose of violets, red fruits and spices, long lasting fragance. Lots of acidity and fruit on the palate, although tannins still have a strong presence. It spreads all over the mouth! Very drinkable today but promises a lot more once fully mature.
  3.5/5 --> 4/5 in another 5 years or so.
