Well I don't think it has improved from my note in 2018 but it has survived. Browning rim which indicates its age. Soft complex pinot notes with earth/cherry and a hint of sous-bois. Not that complex, certainly not concentrated. Again a drink up proposition.

NobleRottersSydney - Christmas Lunch 2019 (Geoffrey's place): {screwcap, 13.7%} Very pale garnet color, quite translucent. Smoky, light nose of cherries, tobacco and a hint of sandalwood oak. It has a slightly confected palate of tart, juicy crimson/cherry flavours, light/medium weight, but with low/medium acid and minimal oak leaving low chalky tannins to carry the short/medium finish. Pleasant entry-level pinot which has aged OK without much complexity but needn’t be kept longer.

Beautifully structured pinot, with loads of mid palate made up of stewed cherry and cream. A salivating acidity holding everything in place. A long life ahead.

Already matured from my previous note. Feels integrated for the first time. Smooth and drinkable. Still good structure and will improve.
