This is the big disappointment. Very deep crimson colour with brick red overtones. The nose is subtle, with aromas of spice, just a hint of game and strawberry. The palate offers little in the way of Pinot power and concentration. The flavours are more of those that belong to a soft red, rather than Pinot – hints of strawberry and stewed fruit. Subtle fine grained soft tannins, followed by an aftertaste of spice and stewed fruit. Cellar 1-2 years.
