Australian Wine Review, 07 January 2015
Much more cherry brightness compared to the 10. Black cherry. Again with that ferrous tannins. Really drying finish. Bacon bits tannins. I think I like this as a younger wine with less earthen tang. Lots of acid this year. Wonderfully complex nose with tomato bush and dry tannins. Such chew ! If you like Pinot with fruit and grunt this is an easy choice.
