Wonderful easy flowing and juicy Pinot with great purity of fruit, soft tannins and subtle, spicy marks. You can certainly taste the raspberries here. Drink now or keep for another 5 years, no problem.

Fin mørk rød gjennomsiktig rubin.
Pinotfrukt dukker frem - litt sjenert.
Flott syre, grei konsentrasjon. Lettbeint men samtidig fin fylde.
