We loved this. It's not high-falutin' but it's complete. It's starting to mature nicely, it's got fruit, charm and appeal in abundance, and it's delightful.

Sweet black truffled earth, vinyl and dry oatmeal on nose. Lots of tart cherry, juicy black plum, jammy black cherry, tiny hint of crabapple. Pretty enamel-gripping, intense acidity (as with the last 2013 I tried). Some tiny umami layers already--like a brown sugar and fish sauce thing on the accumulative finish. Really wish I could just snap my fingers, age this five years, and taste it again. Young and brooding, full of upside--the pleasure is all about tiny, promising allusions at this point.

Loved this. All the finesse that I look for in wines of this level and then some. Tannins are plentiful but fine and has good concentration. Great value.

Dark colour, cherry & herbs with vanilla on nose, more like plums on palate with spices, tar notes etc. Long balanced palate vgvfm.

Deep colour for Pinot - violets aniseed and rich cherry nose, more damsons on a long palate with hints of chocolate coffee etc - lovely and a bargain
