Cherry preserves, cocktail bitters, dusty, peppery spice and dried flowers are all at the fore on this fragrant, easy-to-like Pinot. There's a brightness and lightness to the fruit, thanks to lovely acidity. It's all wound up in well-structured, textural tannins, with a mineral through line. A tightrope of elegance, power and ageworthiness, this hasn't reached its peak yet and has perhaps a decade left in it.

Spiced and juicy plum, blueberry and oolong tea elements mingle with black licorice, crushed pine needle and clove notes. Gains momentum and complexity on the long, expressive finish, where a hint of salted toffee lingers. Drink now. 600 cases imported.
