Description
Aroma - Plum, five-spice, and truffles. Palate - Deep-set red fruit flavours are bound by the firm structure. Medium weight in the mid palate finishes chalky and firm. Cellaring - Over time the vibrant fruit spice at bottling should transform to more of the earthy aromas typical of Pinot Noir. Structurally the wine should soften over time to provide great complexity and interest over a 5-10 year cellaring period.
