The wine shows med intensity, fragrant, red cherry notes, strawberry notes, red berry notes. The wine shows a pleasant profile, a few herbal elements in the back adding some more depth.

The wine shows med intensity, fragrant, red berry notes, the wine shows a dusty element. Again the herbal element, fine spice frame. There is a candy note in the back. The wine shows (as it gets warmer), a sweet note more and more. The wine shows some floral notes, raspberry notes, some VA notes. The acidity stands taller than the fruit, feels lean. In the palate, the wine shows med body, airy, very juicy tannins, nice acidity adding a tart nuance here, crunchy red wine, drops rather fast in the aftertaste though with a little bitter note. -/- Foolishly called this Australian Pinot
