  Smokey cherry nose. Decent amount of fruit in the elegant middle weight mouth. Finishes with good acidity and mature oak tannins.

  This was a highly enjoyable bottle, that had a bit of everything. I got a bit of plum and bitter herbs along with a solid line of acid and more tannic structure than I was expecting. It certainly isn't a lighter style of pinot but it carries everything well.

  Stunningly good. Big smokey nose with lots of fruit, currants. Still a deep red and lots of legs. Good balance of acid and tannin and lots of fruit and a lovely long aftertaste. Very like a classic Burgundy.

  Deeply coloured, opaque ruby. Muted, dense bouquet of dark red cherry with some plum and a savoury sarsparilla note. Full -bodied palate with spicy dark-fruited depth. Good drinking now but with excellent potential for a 3-8 year window.

  Wine tasting with 10 others. Drank 4 pinots to show the difference between New World and France and what you get for your money. 2011 Anne Gros Bourgogne, 2010 Escarpment, 2011 Ten Minutes By Tractor and Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Isabelle.
  The Gros was overshadowed by all the others, but still was a nice bottle, drinking very well now. It was pale red, with a light nose of forest floor, cherries and the fruit on the palate was again, light and it was well balanced. 87 points
  Escarpment was much darker and more powerful, it had developed a lot more, with lots of upfront fruitiness of sour cherries with hints of smokiness and fuller in the mouth, with some earthiness. 89 points
  Ten Minutes was very good and was more strawberry than cherry and was more complex than the Bourgogne and less full than the Escarpment. It was well structured and finely balanced. Very nice. 90 points
  Au Bon was again different, more akin to the Aussie Pinot but was more cherry and a bit of spice very nice 90 points
