The wine
has the rich carmine hue, typical of pinot noir, but the winemakers
purposely avoided the dark, inky colours which result from
over-extraction. The aromas and flavours are a complex intertwining of
fruity and savoury nuances with impressions of cherries, plums and red
berry fruits. These are over-lain with hints of black olives, liquorice,
coffee, grilled meats and mushrooms. There are also whispers of mocha,
chocolate and cinnamon. While elegant, the wine seems to expand in the
mouth and has a backbone of fine tannins and acidity which keep its
structure focussed and tightly-knit. |
