Ruby-red colour with some depth, a little lighter on the edge. The nose is softly full with a well-concentrated core of dark-red berry fruit and raspberry liqueur, entwined with dark herbs, savoury red florals and suggestions of whole bunch stalk-like perfumes. Medium-full bodied, the palate has softly packed flavours of dark-red berry fruits with raspberry notes and dark herbs at the heart. Dark-red florals, savoury stalk perfumes, liquorice and spice notes emerge in the glass. The palate has good depth and the fruit is supported by fine-grained tannin extraction lending texture and structure, with integrated acidity. The wine carries to a soft, lingering finish of dark-red fruits, herbs and a little spice. This is a softly concentrated Pinot Noir with dark-red berry fruit and dark herbs, floral and spice notes on a fine-structured palate. Match with poultry, pork and lamb dishes.
