Tasting Notes
Garnet colour with a broad, watery rim. A most intense nose of white pepper, soft suede leather and wet, withered oak leaf and vivid earthiness. More air brings a minty lift. The palate is much fresher, still vivid, alive, and bright with freshness. There is a glorious streak of energy at its heart there is such a prettiness, such charm, such a vivid Pinot nature. Wow.
