  May 30, 2015 - Nose with strawberry and cherries. Medium body. Lots of fruit medium acids and low tannins. Lack of complexity a bit disappointing. Perhaps caused by the dominating fruits. Not as good as i remember when visiting Bannock Brae estate.

  August 9, 2014 - Colour Dark ruby with crimson edges
  Bouquet is sweetly floral and ripe black cherry / plum
  Palate is both plummy rich yet refreshingly black cherry with savory oak tannins
  Finish slightly drying but persistent
  Certainly different from the usual otago pinot due to sweet/savour character on the palate, maybe it needs a little time for fruit and tannins to in integrate
