Cedar, earth and black fruit aromas. Some dusty tannin with cherry and strawberry and nice finish with its only drawback being a very tiny amount of bitterness at very end but doesn't detract much. Very good stuff for the price.

Much more full bodied than I expected. Massive black cherry and strawberry flavours that is perhaps a bit jammy. No bad but not great. Need to try again but I don't think this has much time.

Cherries and pink grapefruit on the nose. Assertive, dry, tart palate with warming alcohol to finish. Good fruit flavours, but nervy. Could use some time to unwind. 3/5

Tasted blind. Popped and poured. Clear, pale ruby. On the nose: Raspberry, red and dark cherry, a hint of plum. Distinct saline and stony minerality throughout. Some notes of cocoa, sage and underbrush. On the palate: Medium(+) acidity, medium body, medium(+) flavour intensity of ripe fruits and saline minerality. Medium tannins, medium(+) finish. This was the shocker of the night - a successful old world imposter. In retrospect, I should have picked up that the saline minerality was rather too pronounced. Seems the tannins and oak had already largely integrated even at this youthful stage. I am not sure this wine will be able to withstand much aging. 90-92 pts.

There is a nice citrus flavor that gives this medium-full bodied Pinot zest. It will last a bit but wont get better.
