December 25, 2020 - Brief notes on 2020 Christmas wines: Brief note. Under screw cap. Dark fruited. Black cherries, blackberries and dark plums. Quite a bit of attractive savoury development since my last note in 2014. Elements of dark soil, tobacco, mushroom and dried herbs. Fully ripe fruit, flirting with being overripe but some of that fruit now presenting as preserved. Decent acidity though. In a good space for drinking now but no hurry needed.

June 5, 2019 - Better than last bottle. A bit more expressive. Black cherries with a hint of red. Did have elegance but still a big Pinot. Nice but still could do with another 2-4 years in my opinion.

November 11, 2018 - Lovely kiwi Pinot - Fruit driven style with plenty of stuffing. Structure is there but it’s not overt and the wine is now drinking at its peak for the next couple of years.

March 19, 2017 - Quite a big rich possibly jammy wine - a touch too much. Fruit driven however lovely texture - silky. Long with black cherry and spice. Leave another year for next. Structure ? (Not sure)
