Funky earthy nose with dark cherries coming through, lovely rich dark fruit with a bite of acid, a massive wall of structure , brambles angular tannins - very serious wine and all the better for it - definitely no rush and could still be some upside - 4 fingers

Cherry and strawberry fruit lies over a base of good structure and balance. Followed over 3 days, and perhaps day 3 it was at its best. At that time it showed ash, earth, with good lift and a fine texture complemented with the red fruits of day 1.

Sous bois. Cherry, strawberry. Some earth, chocolate. Slippery and sinewy, superb feel and balance, excellent length. Shadowed by a definite woodiness... the only thing holding this back from higher points.... will it resolve in time? Looking at my past notes, I scored the 2010 Estate Pinot Noir higher just last year... curious.

Cherry, earth, savoury notes. Balanced and nuanced. Tannins just assist in the background. In a great spot tonight.

More woody than the previous bottle. There's still plenty of primary fruit flavours too. Might leave the others for a while.
