  Wow! Cloudy garnet. Strawberries, sour cherry, cream. Tannins fully resolved. So smooth and full on the mouth feel. Long finish.

  A beautiful pinot noir that has an aged profile but exhibits youth concurrently. Strawberries and cream, crushed red flowers and wet stones. A well balanced wine with silky tannins and a medium+ finish. Lacking a bit of complexity and finesse but overall a very enjoyable wine. It feels like spring on my palette.

  Notably cloudy light garnet colour. Nose is funky (VA), with stewed strawberries, cherries, and forest floor. Bold and rustic in style.

  Croquet hit the nail on the head. This was very cloudy out of the bottle, not what you'd expect for only a 4 y/o. Others mention forest floor and this is the most endearing thing for me. The nose is the best thing about it at the moment. Flip of a coin on whether there is any upside from here

  Took this to an Auswine forum offline.
  
  Slightly cloudy in appearance with a brown tinge. It certainly looks older than it is.
  Slight sour cherry with some earthy smoke on the nose
  
  Earthy, autumnal notes and could pass for a burgundy.
  
  Seemed much older than it was - hard to gauge how this will develop but drinking really well now.
