Three vintages in a row now I have reviewd this truly fantastic Pinot Noir and it has remained consistent, with some vintage variation, of course.
The 2008 is lovely - more feminine than the 2007 and more approachable upon release.
Like any good Pinot Noir it evolves as you sip - it launches with aromas of cherries and wild red berries, cedar and fine spice with undertones of rainforest floor then moves into sweet pipe tobacco and floral notes with hints of wild herbs. It is elegant and finely woven - juicy berry/cherry fruit, cocoa and leather flavours that linger on an impressively long and silky finish.
