Deep red colour with a trace of purple; lovely complex meaty charcuterie bouquet. The palate is rich, full and expansive. The flavour, texture and weight of the wine are superb. It can be enjoyed now but decanting is recommended. Lovely fleshy extract; a tip-top pinot with a big future. Lush sweet fruit, tobacco, foresty notes, savoury; loads of fine-grained tannins. Long and lovely. Drinks well now but can be kept for many years.
