Lifts the Pinot Noir bar with an impressive display of intensity and concentration of fruit built around ripe black cherry, plum, woody spice, red liquorice, dried herbs and earth. Tannins are savoury and chewy. A dense, flavoursome wine highlighted in red fruits with red liquorice, spices and notes of undergrowth and red earth delivered seamlessly. No reason to suggest it won’t age nicely for at least a decade or more.
