I drank this at Auckland airport after a 34 hour flight. Has great aromas of raspberries, red cherries, some violets, spice and coffee. Its medium bodied plump and nicely dense palate has the same flavours underscored by oak and cut by nice acidity. Ends medium long, freshish and a bit sweet.

A big nose of strawberry, not too jammy. This had a rustic edge, without that old-world stinkiness. Juicy cherry, violets and a pepper finish. Felt a bit off-balance, could have done with more fruit. Also too much alcohol warmth for me. This didn't really come together.

Clean Pinot Noir taste, not over complex. Chose this as a red to accompany lobster with spaghetti and tomato based sauce, for which it was perfect.

Wonderful strawberry and raspberry notes on the front with a slight tinge of black cherry. Excellent for the price, a real find.
