Dense purple red in color. Black currant, raspberry, butter notes in nose. Mixed berries, black currant, spearmint and a touch of raisin and anise in mouth with moderate seed tannins in finish. Highly extracted Pinot, could be aged even longer given its style.

2009 vintage. Medium garnet hue. Vanilla, black cherry, sweet spice nose, caramel and dried cranberry. On the palate, medium plus alcohol, medium acidity, medium minus body and medium plus concentration. Medium plus finish. Still quite youthful. Could improve further in bottle. Certainly decent. I prefer a more savoury Pinot generally, than a richer sweeter fruit style such as this.
