  Agree with others that it’s probably too soon to be drinking this wine. This was 375ml format. The experience of drinking it over an hour had 3 distinct phases…
  
  1. Straight from bottle on opening the wine tasted very fruit driven with cherries and strawberries. Super refined and elegant but perhaps a little simple.
  
  2. About 30-40 minutes later the wine broadened, deepened and darkened in its character. Some darker fruits, a greater breadth of mouthfeel and savory nuances emerged. Much better!
  
  3. Another 15 minutes and the wine changed a little more and there was a more tannic (?) quirky orange rind finish. It’s like the wine was revealing more and more intriguing character.

  Probably still too young but very enjoyable pinot noir. Lighter elegant Pn style, very floral. strawberry, red fruits as primary, tertiary not too present as yet. Will wait to open the next bottle for a while.

  A rather elegant wine: cherry/strawberry with light raspberry notes, smooth texture, just glides across the palate but has a fine tannin profile to hold it. So easy to drink - could be rather tasty as it ages and develops some secondary characteristics - but why wait ...

  Very pretty floral aromas, red berry fruits. Elegant in style and classy.

  Tasted at the Mount Mary Dinner, Stokehouse Q. This wine was a deep cherry red colour with a reserved nose of strawberry compote, raspberry and cherries with touches of dark chocolate and spice. The palate has a lovey shape and definition with beautifully soft fruit backed up by fine tannins providing very good length. Delicious but for the cellar.
