Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, 26 June 2018
The nose is firmly concentrated
with a fine and intense core of
dark-red cherry and berry fruit,
entwined with raspberry notes,
red florals, dark herbs and notes
of liquorice and minerals....
This is a rich and sweet-fruited
Pinot Noir with dark-red cherry,
berry and raspberry flavours, a
concentrated palate and plenty
of fine-grained tannin extraction
with a vibrant finish.
