Black fruit smell, exquisitly balanced palette with spicy peppery taste and a super long finish. Should only improve in the next several years. A really grown up Tassie Pinot.

Burgundies - 2004, 2007 and other "Off" vintages (Giant Garoupa Restaurant): This was actually a pretty decent new world Pinot, but it came as a bit of a shock to the system after a string of nice Burgundies. The nose was a telltale sign, with sweet notes of berries and cherries, and then some floral accents, all somehow carrying the touch of something candied on them. The palate was rather simple, but nicely balanced, with attractive flavours of sweet berries and light touches of spice. It was ever so slightly stemmy on the finish, but that aside, this was a pretty pleasant drink. Bottled under screwcap, this should get better after 2-3 years as well.
