Nothing much to add to my notes of 16 weeks ago except notes of stewed fruit like Rhubarb with some stalky herbal notes. Basically too light for me.

Mac Forbes is a young up and coming producer from the Yarra Valley. The wine is pale to mid Ruby in colour. The nose shows sweet soft red fruits of strawberry and cherry with some stemminess. Light weight on the palate but well made. One punter compared it to a fine Savigny les Beaune. Overall a little light for my palate. My first Mac Forbes Pinot Noir - I hope future bottles live up to the hype. Mac makes other Pinots from Yarra Valley microclimates.

A little spice, not too fruity. Great Pino noir.
