Has an aroma of smoked meats, compost and red fruits. It is relatively slight but nicely balanced with subtle flavours that hand off a fine minerally frame. Drinking nicely right now.

This wine has never tasted better (well it might have, I may have forgotten how good it was last time). The nose is full and sweet with notes of black cherry, cranberry, flora and earth. It is not particularly deep but the fruits are trimmed with earth, texture is fine and lacy and there’s good minerally detail.

Lifted cherry nose with a touch of menthol, but fine and direct, a bit elusive to start with, but grew in depth and complexity in the glass - very attractive

Dense mid-ruby to cherry colour; slightly earthy, cherry fruit on the nose. Mineral and reasonably focused entry and moderate length. Perfectly pleasant. **1/2

Medium ruby/garnet; smoky ripe cherry fruit on the nose; smooth well balanced light red fruits through the palate to a steady seamless medium finish. I was surprised on the upside by this wine - quietly competent and so much better than many other pinots this past year.
