On the nose there is aromas of stewed plums, red cherries and blackberry. On the palate this Pinot Noir is not overly fruity, with notes of forest floor, mushroom and anise joining the bouquet. The flavour of primary fruit is still evident but this does not dominate the palate, subtle tannins are expertly used to balance the richness of this wine and marry the savoury and sweet characteristics. The hints of alluring savoury “primal” character make this wine very moreish as well as the dark spicy complex fruit perfume.
