95 / 100"Keppell Smith just popped around to taste some wines with me. He’s a good fellow, quite chatty and jovial too. Earthy, cherry, spice, dried rose and liquorice root, quite exotic with maybe, and don’t mind me, something of a quality Nebbiolo character about it. Dark cherry and spice, richness here and a little earthy, some blood orange, a light chew to supple powdery tannin, some high cocoa dark chocolate in the mix, and intriguing autumnal tones. Length is excellent. It really blossoms with time in glass, revealing more layers and complexity, yet what I like most is that it’s a wine of distinct character and personality. A very strong release."

Tasting Notes
Heady, lifted, complex aromas of sour cherry, plum, truffle and undergrowth swirl from the glass. This Pinot boasts layers of rich red and black fruits. It’s multi-dimensional, expansive, concentrated with a spectacularly long, powerful finish. It is a wine of exceptional depth, harmony, balance with moderate tannin. An elegant wine of depth, complexity and finesse. Open this wine a few hours ahead of consuming.
This is a delicious, juicy, fragrant wine.
Lifted aroma of dewy rose petal, sour cherry, pomegranate, raspberry and ripe red berry fruits, exotic spices with a subtle gamey truffle finish. Pure, focused and precise with great length, texture and persistence.
An elegant wine of depth, complexity and finesse.
