2010 Curly Flat Pinot Noir

Matured in French oak for a period of 22 months of which 31% was new. Semi translucent dark crimson red colour with light red hue. The nose displays aromas of dark cherries alongside a hint of sour cherries followed by some meaty game like characters, subtle cedar and spice. Light to medium weight the palate packs plenty of power and richness with generous dark cherry flavours followed by some dark plum, cedar, gamey meat like characters and spice. Very fine grained perfectly integrated tannin structure. Excellent power wave with long ripe dark cherry, dark plum, meaty cedar and spice aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years (2018-2019).
Alc 13.8%

Other Reviews….
Healthy, clear red-purple; offers a mix of spicy/savoury and French oak nuances running through the plum and red cherry fruit of the bouquet; the palate is perfectly balanced, and the 22 months in 30% new French oak barrels were judged to perfection. Drink by 2020.
