5th and 6th bottles of the 2011 case drunk in the last week. Fruit has turned and now has overripe/raisin notes on nose but especially on palate. Still rich and complex, but it needs the freshness of youth to balance out the inherent body and ripeness of the fruit when first bottled. Drinks like a fully mature cab/shiraz. Spectacular in youth, but ages quickly.

May 13th, 2021Pinot - really???
This is pinot cubed. Almost black in colour, with big dark fruited jammy nose. Beautiful full bodied round fruited palate. But blue And black fruit. Soft powdery tannins holding the whole thing together. The only truely full bodied pinot I’ve ever had. Great.
