Smoky red cherry, mocha, raspberry, a touch of stalk and some cedar in the background of the nose. The palate shows a lovely balance between savoury elements and fruit sweetness. A medium level of flavour intensity with well integrated tannins and acid leading into a lingering finish.
I think it is drinking wonderfully well now and is probably around its peak between now and 2008. This is a serious Pinot Noir but given that it is under $20AUD, it is a seriously good deal as well.

Strong aromas of strawberry and some mocha. Spicy on the pallette. Medium weight and good structure.

Loved by Halliday, overrated by everyone else - I'm kinda in the middle. It's different - but that isn't always a good thing. Drink now. 85.
