  **See previous notes.
  
  Solid pop and pour
  Loads of black berry pie notes. A nice wine for sure. Lots of meaty notes. Needs more time.

  Tasmanian Pinot? -the furthest south I have tasted this grape…must get a lot of sun to get this juice.
  
  Tight, earthen, dense; it feels cool & intense… more like you’d see in upper an tier Cornas.
  
  Palate of cured meat, very slight cinnamon stick & oak. There's a peppery intensity on the finish that surpasses, yet delights.
  
  Sublime.

  L'il Rob visiting
  
  Bright ruby in color
  Super floral nose. Loads of red fruit. Strawberries and raspberries.
  Light to medium body. Some meaty notes, followed by red fruit and flowers. Just a lovely lighter sipping wine. Case worthy at this price.

  Giant Steps Single Vineyard Zoom tasting. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of red spices, woody fresh forest floor. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, firm medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherries, savoury dark forest floor, dark red plums, sweet peppery spices, woody toast oak. Long structured finish.
  Good quality. Imbalanced at the moment. Awkward and needs time to integrate and develop. Pinot Noir trying to be tough. Time will tell if it tried too hard.
