Admittedly I was concerned that we may have left it a little late to open this bottle. Fortunately however, after almost an hour left to breath, it was fabulous - a perfect match to NZ lamb rack on Christmas Day! The wine looks Violet colored. The legs are Medium. It tastes like and Forest floor. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Short.

aaaah horrors, I have waited to long because this wine was well passed its best, unravelled on the palette with a not so nice vinegar aftertaste. It went down the sink. How disappointing

Medium garnet core, pale cherry rim. Quite pronounced nose, with developed bouquet of ripe black morello cherry, game and plenty of spicy, savoury notes. On the palate, medium + acidity and soft silky tannins giving a lovely mouthfeel. Excellent concentration here as well, with ripe black cherry singing loud, but also savour, spice and definite gamey notes. Plenty of savoury notes on a very good length finish, with nice balancing acidity. This is ageing well, developing some attractive spicy, savoury gaminess and still has excellent concentration. Must have at least another 2 years ahead of it.

Pinot Noir Tasting (Meo Camuzet, Flowers, Hansel, Cristom...) (Zoot Restaurant): Really raisiny nose and palate. Could have been an off-bottle, but I suspect this is just not my style of wine.
