Deep burgundy in colour with a garnet hue. Intensely fruited aromas of pomegranate cranberry and dark cherry leap from the glass the fruit almost verges into blue fruits before notes of exotic spice and touches of earth reveal themselves. There is a background element of oak that is intricately woven into the fruit never dominating. The palate is finally detailed a generous core of powerful fruit is complemented by a velvet line of tannin. There is vibrancy here from carefully managed acidity which provides seamless length. A subtle textural element from time on lees that adds yet another dimension. Classic Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from an excellent vintage sourced from a great site.
