"Deep ruby-black with a tinge of garnet, lighter on the rim. The nose is gently full and comforting, enticing aromas of dried cherries, prune, ginseng melded with integrated spices and subtle gamey complexity. Medium-full bodied, velvety and concentrated the palate showing a savoury toned nuance of mushrooms, and forest floor interweave liquorice, ginseng underlying dried cherries, prune, along with cinnamon and cloves linger to a very long, complexed closing. The wine has strength and depth, displaying on a condensed, weighty mouthfeel with a creamy, velvety texture. Savoury complexity added interest to an already complete wine. Fine-grained tannin is integrated and supple along with lacy acidity, provide immense pleasure. The development is evident as an 11-year-old wine, but there's plenty of time ahead with the support of intensity and length. This is an enticing Pinot Noir packed with complex development, concentration and strength, full of beautiful flavours to be discovered. Match with pigeon with truffle sauce and roasted duck over the next 5+ years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, May 2021

"It's magnificently matured, showing dark berry, smoked game, dried herb, truffle and almond aromas, wonderfully enhanced by outstanding concentration and plush mouthfeel. It's opulent and refined at the same time with sophistication and seamless flow. Totally seductive. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2020

"No mistaking the purity, power and elegance of this Pinot, with oak leading the package of aromas. Forrest berries, brown spices abundant in vanilla and clove scents. Dry, spiced, chalky, fine tannins, silky textures and a core of red berry fruits. Earthy and sophisticated, lengthy and packed with Pinosity. Best from 2019 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, The Shout, Jul 2018

Dark, deep and complex, the broad bouquet shows savoury dark berry, cured meat, mushroom and forest floor. A touch of aniseed and floral perfumes also come through, possibly from the use of whole bunch stalks. The wine has an abundance of ripe berry and plum fruit flavours, mushroom and dried herbs, with an instantly appealing savoury complexity and lingering finish.
