Large-framed pinot with plenty of life left in it. Huge aromatics, superb red fruit and a nice finish. Held up surprisingly well to the lamb shanks, testament to this wine's size. Definitely not for those looking for a burgundian style of pinot. Bet this would be great with grilled salmon in the summer...

opened and tasted like sour cherries with a hot finish. The heat blew off some after about 30 minutes but still just sour red fruit and a clipped finish. Decanted and started to lose whatever fruit remained. This bottle tasted tired and over the hill.

This bottle was open and ready. Fabulous, concise black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, cinammon and violets. Over an hour the wine rounded out and added a brown sugar note. Excellent length and balance on the finish.

Bags of fruit but slightly corked. A sad end for my last 01 Rosellas.
