This bottle was starting to show its age. Nice wine, but different to the previous bottles. A little bit of caramel, some smoke notes. Medium bodied, good acidity, plum and dark cherry fruit. Medium finish. Still worth drinking.

Opened one bottle between three of us. Nose had pleanty of barn yard but the pallet a little over the top. Opened a second bottle with an ever so slightly better nose but cleaner dark berry pallet. Both bottles are developing but cardboard is becomming more evident on the first. We all would have like to compare corks but sealed with Stelvin lux

Lovely aged pinot, showing very earthy notes, undergrowth, old leather and background spices, sour cherries a hints of oak. Integrated tannins, smooth palate and great length. Is holding well but think this is the right time to drink this one.

It has definitely got better with age. I think I nailed my last note, because the wine has evolved in a nice line. The acidity has mellowed as I wanted. I love the structure of the wine, the balance between the fruit and acidity is excellent, and the subtle tannins provide an underpinning that rounds the overall impact.

Savoury notes, powerful fruit, balanced with great length. I really enjoyed this wine.
