Strawberry, cranberry, tea leaf, pine and a bit of smoke. It’s translucent, light weight and perfectly balanced. Enjoyable but didn’t blow me away on this occasion

Familiar label……wines pretty good too. Lovely fresh acidity - cranberry, strawberries, raspberry, rhubarb. Continued to evolve, sour cherry and cox apple. Really elegant and crisp. There’s a nice herbal woody note. One of the nicest pinots I’ve had for a while. 13% abv

The positive reviews on here encouraged me to open a bottle, although I did so with some trepidation given that this is a young wine and made with 100% whole clusters, I needn't have worried! I know nothing about Australian Pinot, and get the sense that this may not be particularly representative....but regardless it was really quite a revelation! Light bodied, but so fine and elegant - and distinctive. Not hugely complex -that will probably come with more time in bottle- but exquisitely balanced and wonderfully drinkable.

Light red colour. Nose of ripe strawberries with a touch of cranberry. This follows through onto the palate. Very long. Nicely ripe fruit but very well poised / balanced. There is a fab savoury seam (almost a "funky" sourness) woven through the wine and some light earth/baking spice notes. Very, very well integrated light tannins!! Still quite primary. Drinking well though. So lovely. This is young. Fabulous potential for aging. Not super long time - 2-4 yrs maybe

Nose - red cherries, strawberries laced with forest floor, herbs and floral notes
Palate - starts off with red fruits dominating, some cranberries, raspberries, tarty goodness, followed by forest floors, herbaceous notes driving through to a moreish finish. Excellent balance of flavours. Tannins are plentiful and velvety. Good acidity levels making it a mouthwatering experience.
Cellar for another 2-3 years for it to develop at its peak.
Highly recommend

Pale ruby in the glass, candied-apple-like. Quite complex nose already, even at this young age - cherry, cola, some bread notes, some stalks. The whole bunch character comes out more on the palate, but doesn't offer tannins that stand out a whole lot. Smooth, very well-balanced. One of those wines that make you think for hours how good they are. I want a relationship with this wine hah!

Volnay-like. Rather light. Cranberries. Light body. Not sure if he uses a lot of whole bunch but I wasn't bothered by the slight green notes I found. A lot lighter than anticipated and albeit a sophisticated feel it is one of those wines that makes me unsure whether I really like pinot or if it just boils down to a yearning for the understanding of the true nature of pinot noir.

Oj. De här skulle man ju köpt fler av. En stackare kvar som bör få vila 4-6 år minst för optimal upplevelse.
Men riktigt bra redan. Kommer att vila till sig fint, något mycket vanilj för stunden. Vet inte ny-eksgraden
