Tasting Notes :
"Bright raspberry red Immediately an assertion of strawberry cream/framboise
‘varietal correctness. An enchanting and transcendent fraises des bois subtle herbaceousness
arouses further interest and endearment.
A hint of fresh tobacco, sage, and red currant pastille fruits.
Spicy oak is evident, yet respectful.
Exotic berried-yoghurt and strawberry-yoghurt cake flavours offer immediate enticement.
A roundness and polish is evident, possibly due to time in barrique on lees?
Yet there remains a tension, elasticity to contradict and complex!
Tasmanian grape sourcing may help to explain this Pinot Noir’s minerality, graphite edge.
Ditto the fine acidity, tannins and red fruits. Is the flintiness/wet-stone from the oak and/or fruit.
Texturally so silky, a radiant plume conically fanning out ever so softly on the finish."
