  • Very floral upfront nose with red berries and smoked licorice and eucalyptus in the middle and lightly toasted cumin at the base. The same elegant and refine profile flowed to a sweet and lively palate which has depth and length. Smooth texture as it should be for this aged Pinot. Oak treatment is totally integrated to the medium bodied structure with very fine tannins. The floral notes linger in the aftertaste for quite a while. It is open and ready drink the moment you pop the cork. At its peak now and should stay so for the next few years. A touch sweet for my taste and lacking some focus in the mid-palate. A friendly wine for most people.
