Touch of Brett, small short finish, but still extreme quality. Dark brooding berry fruits on the mid palate. Medium plus body , balanced acidity

Strawberry-ish with a hint of menthol for me. Can't find as many earthy flavours as others seem to do...blackberry too, though. Like it a lot.

Truly outstanding, the best in a while. Massive tobacco.

Needs time to breath and open up to reveal itself.
Thin and pale to look at.
Medium and soft nose.
Easy and long on the palate. Take your time and savour. It has more depth that initially appears.

Big dirty Pinot flavours. Tobacco and other earth flavours with just enough tannin to have you coming back for more.
