lots of spices, lots of sweet cherry.. too sweet. fruit is dominant, sweetness is dominant. Tannins are an afterthought, was expecting way acidity and structure. Plenty of flavor.. but the wine is just very soft and limp.

Check-up on Australia with Tim Wildman, MW (Adelaide/Barossa): Medium-light garnet. Expressive, highly aromatic nose of berry, cherry, spices with some earth. On the palate this is earthy with fine tannins, structured more like a Chambertin than a Vosne, also the aromas are more in that direction. Very good length. Wow, this is a Pinot that can go places and is able challenge the NZ flagships in this part of the world.

Beautiful juice. Plenty of concentration but never jammy. Mineral finish and sensible levels of acidity. This is a benchmark for the region and price.
