  This is maturing very nicely. Very pale in colour and translucent but with some power on the palate and finish of light cherry and wild strawberry. There was some hint of bricking on the rim but I suggest a few years of life left with this wine. Limited tertiary development yet, perhaps there will always be a limit to that but this is a very enjoyable Pinot.

  Reductive on first opening. Red cherry, cranberry, and spices. Touches of smoke, dried cherry and forest floor. Light to medium bodied with vibrant acidity. Some astringency initially which settled in with air. Not particularly long. Very good but not exceptional. Drink now or hold.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Pale garnet.
  
  Pronounced on the nose with red cherry, cranberry, clove, smoke, struck match, manure, leather, dried cherry, forest floor. Developing.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate. High acidity, medium minus body, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus finish.
  
  Can drink now but has potential for aging.

  Very pleasant early in the night vino.
  Vibrant red fruit and lovely lighter texture.
