"It has a slight earthiness on the nose, a touch of wild hedgerow, along with damson, Doris plum, cassis and violets. Very pretty and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied, good structure with some very fine tannins, dark plum, bilberry and boysenberry towards the almost conservative finish that beckons a year or two cellaring. Very fine. " – 90 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Reasonably dense, grainy-textured wine with with sweet cherry, strawberry, floral and bramble flavours. Good acidity giving vibrance and energy. A slightly edgy style. Good food wine.

A mix of red and blue pinot fruit is nuanced by touches of earth, underbrush and a smoky hint that is also reflected by the round and notably richer medium-bodied flavors that are more concentrated, delicious and serious while culminating in a solidly long finish.

f raw size and power, this will be a sure winner. Fans of elegance and finesse will be perhaps less impressed but this is truly a dramatic wine.
