"Attractive, vibrant and delicately-scented Pinot Noir with floral, violet, plum, cherry, fresh herb and spicy oak flavours supported by fruity acidity and fine tannins. A high-energy wine that can be appreciated now but should develop well with bottle age" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jun 2021
