  The regional blend from Sandhi, but from exceptional vineyards. This has been lying in the cellar since my first Roberson order in 2019...bought for around £24 back then 🙃
  
  Ripe, juicy red fruit, plum flesh and dried cherry, with an earthy, old-oak leather and pepper-like edge. Not quite my style of pinot, but undeniably classy. Tannins and acid still present - I think it would be at its best in a couple of years

  Needs a lot of air, when opened, lots of Gaz (CO2), and a lot of greenish scents, from the whole bunch and super ripe pinots aromas, after ione day opening and 350 kms of car it develops a lot more fruits, ripe though but still a nicer palate... good palate, round and fluid, with loads of red ripe fruits... very much better day 2...

  Darker red sweet fruits. Clearly new world but well made and not a rich fruit bomb. Still quite primary. Some good mild spice on nose (mild white pepper) and palate. Medium body. Medium length. Pretty good balance.
