  PnD let air for 1hr. Consistent with previous note. Spicy cherry pie elements. More evolved still fresh but would drink up before rather than risk it.

  PnD let air for 90mins. Slightly cloudy garnet prune colour. Ripe Bing cherry baking spices touch of cola on the nose. Medium(-) weight with nicely round tannins. Nicely ripe red fruits hint of baking spices touch of cola enough acid to keep it in balance. Not simple and in a real nice place. Needs drinking up.

  Brick red-burgundy with low optical density. Simple, medium intensity nose of cherry, cola, and sappy red berries. Refreshing acidity, light to medium body, and light, soft tannins support flavours of raspberry, cherry, and cola. Really quite simple, but certainly intense flavours come across. Holds OK over the mid-palate, but then quickly fades out for a short cola finish. Very easy drinking and refreshing wine in a quite fruit-forward modern style- no real sense of place or distinguishing features, just another soft, cherry cola Pinot. Enough acid for a dinner wine, but best paired with simple and light to medium weight foods. Medium value, but nothing to seek out by any means.

  Medium red. Nose is very fruity - red Pinot fruit underpinned by subtle vanilla. Excellent intensity of bright fruit. Silky feel and refreshing acid. This is a real winner!
