  {13%, screwcap} Bricking garnet colour. Perfumed, spicy, and quite aging nose; all composting leaves and sweet rotting meat (in a good way...) The palate isn’t hugely varietal, but has lots of compost flavours, gentle spices, a touch of fungal/mushroom character, but not unpleasant. There are still some medium-level powdery tannins, the acid is fairly soft; overall it’s about medium-bodied, with a medium length dry finish. Pretty decent but not outstanding wine at the end of its maturity plateau I reckon.

  Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Medium intense, still quite fresh and youthful nose with sweet red cherry and strawberry fruit, hints of vanilla and spice. Attractively light and well balanced on the palate with soft, resolved tannins, decent acidity and creamy red strawberry fruit tailing off a little on the finish. Nevertheless an enjoyable, mellow, well crafted pinot. Drink up.
