  Seemingly I like this wine much more than others, and it leads me to think this has developed quite a bit in the bottle. Aromatics of smoky glaze, florals, herbal tea, creamy red fruit and maybe some pepper. Nice palate intensity with medium+ acid. Medium body. Medium(-) tannins. On the palate there's nice tension between slightly preserved fruit and some herbaceousness.
  
  I think this drinking really well right now, and maybe the bottle development has given this wine some added complexity.

  From Coravin - ripe and luscious with good acidity. Plastic smell on the nose faded away after half an hour in the glass

  Tart cherries. 13.5% ABV. Meh.

  Clear ruby, cherry and spice. It held it's own at the dinner party.

  Spicey berries, medium body. Would be better at a slightly lower price point. Consistent for Saintsbury which makes some good pinots but this one is slightly above average.
