Sleek pleasure. Can we leave it at that? This is an enticing Riposte The Sabre Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills.
The key is to give this a good decant or hold. Give it that chance and it will flourish. Dark cherries, sour cherries, plums and an array of fine spices hook you in. That chance to breathe enables mandarin peel, twiggy nuances and even a whisper of clove to emerge. A delicate ribbon of char from the oak slides in too. Still showing a little tension on close, this is a most respectable Pinot.
