Wine was good, really enjoyed primary fruit aromas despite 7 years after vintage, it was a bit on the "cooked" side, as I had a better memory of the wine tasting it in 2016. Should give it more time, tannns were very velvety already !

Absolutely wonderful spicey fruity nose of cherries and slight herby/forest floor notes. The palate is a silky smooth pinot delight, not as dense as some of the other blocks, but it has lovely depth of spices, dark cherries, with a slight sour fruitiness of maybe cranberries and the finish is long and velvety with a touch of raspberries. Absolutely delicious and great wine to seek out and try and #giveanewwineago sadly my last bottle of six. 92 points

PnP. Medium colour. Great from the start but continued to develop with each glass. Dark cherry, some herbs and forest floor. Fruit is noticeable but not sweet. Tannin is extremely well integrated and doesn’t stand out, definitely present but can’t tell if it is skins, oak or stem dominant. There’s a slight bitterness which sometimes accompanies a short palate, but not in this case, it has great length. Drinking well now and should be good up to 2025. Note to self: can’t recall trying the Cornish before this bottle, suspect this label will have a distinctive terroir - try a vertical of 3 vintages spread over 6-9 years. Gassed the last glass in the bottle overnight. Day 2 it was still good but the bitter palate was more noticeable and it seemed shorter.

Heavenly balance of pure fruit and delicate penetration.
Coy but exquisite. Wild underneath.
