An inky dark red in colour that is atypical to the variety. The nose shows dense plum and ample spice.

On the palate oak and concentrated fruit coats the mouth with plum and vanillin characters matched with ripe textural tannins. The wine has tremendous length however I really struggle to find the Pinot varietal character in the wine. This wine is built for the cellar and it will be intriguing to watch the wines evolution over time as the primary characters fade.
