A bit on the soft side at this point. Don’t age much longer. Tasty though.

Pretty light medium ruby , wide pink rim. Lightly spiced , strawberry and raspberry , quite sweet. On the palate this has a slightly more savoury element , with some raspberry , red cherry hints and a touch of toasty , herbal notes . Balanced acidity and light tannins , ok length and a star anise tinged finish . Drink now and over the next few years .

Dark and layered. Really opened up after a 2hr decant. Love S&B Pinot and this Chanin is one of the best.
