Tasting notes
Dark crimson. Black chocolate and real interest on the nose. Even some meat extract. Not the delicate side of Pinot Noir but certainly valid. Very sweet and just a bit too jammy on the palate. What a shame! Overripe flavours. Pretty chewy tannins. (JR)

Good full red. Red fruits along with lower-toned loam, coffee and meat. Round and fat, with modest complexity but good sweetness of fruit. Has just enough acidity to maintain its shape and balance. Finishes firmly tannic, with lingering sweet fruit.
