2006 Paringa Estate Pinot Noir

Semi translucent crimson mauve colour with crimson mauve hue. Perfumed nose with top note of cherry, followed by spice and ripe strawberry showing good varietal character. On the palate, flavours of cherry and plum remain youthful, overlaid by a touch of mocha and dark chocolate in the background. The tannins are fine but rather tight. Aftertaste of cherry and beetroot.
Cellar 4-5 years (2011-2012)
Alc/Vol: 14.5%

Other Reviews....
Fragrant aromas of cherry, plum and spice, then a lively, fresh palate, with pure varietal fruit expression; delicious now, or in 5-6 years’ time.
