Medium/deep ruby, purple tints, narrow pale purple rim. Ripe dark cherry and vanilla nose. Spice. Lacking precision. Quite full bodied with medium + intense ripe dark cherry and vanilla. Quite spicy. Ripe, dense tannins, actually unusually tannic for Pinot. Decent (crisp) acidity on a medium length finish with savoury notes. Overall a bit of a monster and not really my style, a bit disjointed and lacking elegance and grace. No hurry to drink up but not sure this will ever really come together.

floral nose, elegant with vibrant acidity. Tannins are integrated but firm. Though drinking well, could benefit from additional cellaring.
