  Palate med-full bodied generous ripe fruits, cherry plums , grippy tannins , smooth acidity , cassis red liquorice , milk chocolate long finish 41/44
  Overall rich full flavoured Pinot , nice now probably better in a couple of years , enjoyable 9/11

  Nose of preserved cherry, forest floor, and leather, with hints of acorn and pine. Palate shows soft, sour acidity and firm, full-bodied tannin. Flavours of preserved cherry, rhubarb, and cola. A hint of something sour and fermented (kimchi?).
