A hit of strawberry jam on toast first up got my attention. A few more swirls of the glass and classic Pinot traits rolled through; buckets of dark cherries with a hint of pepper.
Well balanced with good fruit, it was still drinking very well on the third day I had it open. Interestingly the aromatics seemed to grow another leg at this stage and they developed in a berry basket type. A moreish length capped off a well made wine.
An easy drinking type which can be pleasantly enjoyed on its own.
