Still firm and youthful, this had flavours of dark cherries and black tea perhaps with a slight vegetal note and a sprinkle of coffee grounds. The fruit was underpinned with spice and firm tannins, and developed a sweetness on the mid-palate through to a persistent dry finish. This had a lot more stuffing than I would have expected from an English Pinot from Essex and I think there is real potential to develop and improve over the next 2-3 years. At present I’d rate it at 87pts but it may have the potential to go up to 89 or even 90 pts.

13% ABV - all natural alcohol. Dark cherry on the nose, touch gamey and meaty. Light and fruity on the palate, very fine tannins, pure raspberry fruit. Refreshing finish. Not super intense but lovely fruit here.

Ripe cherries nose, dark colour for a cool climate pinot.
Nice balance. Really enjoyed this now.
