Smoky nose with notes of blackberry, currant and dried plums. Taste is peppery and spicy, good acidity backbone with slightly green strawberry fruit coming out towards the short to medium finish. French oak is pretty present and makes the wine a bit tart, but I have doubts it will integrate very well with time. Not a bad effort, but slightly off-balanced.

Wine Education Service - Classic Grape - Pinot Noir: Quite a light colour, fairly youthful. I love this nose, very attractive, bit of delicious development. Very sweet attack, but dry and tannic, reasonable balance, rather sweet mid palate and finish.

WES - Pinot Noir (LSE Holbourn): Medium intense. Clear and bright. Looking quite garnet and older than its youth. Spice and pepper dominated nose. Some savoury and blood. Dry, quite light. Touch of earthiness and a warm finish.

Light and a tad smoky. Pleasant with fish. Smooth and well balanced. Not very fruity for a pinot.
