V much like it’s Chardonnay sibling, nothing wrong with it but for the price, nothing to report that is particularly note worthy. Felt like a cross between a a cote de units village and an acidic NZ P Pinot. Definitely feel I got “broked” into these!

20 months since my last (unmarked) note and much improved. The minerality has come to the fore and the earlier noted dense extracted fruit element is much more defined and typically PN cherry (with PN bitter finish). Much purer and satisfactory than before - but the price?? For drinking up to 10yrs from vintage.

Not sure what to make of this. Dense, ripe, slightly extracted dark fruit, integrated tannins and granitic minerality. All very drinkable if unsubtle - and at a price! However needs to develop further complexity to justify the cost and I need to be convinced that it has the potential to do so. Will give it the benefit of the doubt and hold till 2021. ?89+?+ potential

Dark cherry and ripe strawberry. Smooth Pinot with soft tannins. Mid+ finish.

Probably flawed . Some manure smell.
Did get better after few hours but not 100% I fear
