Bright crimson; the bouquet is a complex offering of berry fruit, spice and savoury/foresty components, possibly due to whole bunch inclusion in the ferment; the palate is also complex, long and well-balanced, although the 'mystical pinot character' claimed on the back label is indeed mystical.

Spicy, little pepper, red cherry, lighter, vanilla, bit of mulch, mint – no question its Pinot Noir. Slightly sour cherry flavours, fine grained tannin, and a subtle stalky bitterness, but overall silky with unobtrusive acid – unforced. Impressive length. Classy.
