A reserve style that goes deep into the heart of Pinot Noir seeking out complexity. It comes to the glass slowly, a youthful work in progress that benefits from a few swishes of air. Enjoy the earthiness that follows on the scent of undergrowth, briar with black cherry, plum, dusty cacao, mint and game. Time in the glass sees a melding of its many attributes, including an earthy-leathery savouriness starting to emerge. Matured in French oak with accompanying silky tannins on show, it remains pretty tightly wound yet with a lovely juiciness. Altogether, both expansive, open hearted and complex. Quite a thing in one so young.
