This wine has a stony, mineralic nose with a lot of spiciness; the palate exhibits spice notes but the fruit is a very restrained especially for 2012. The fruit character is hard to discern but it is on the darker side rather than the redder side. Good levels of acid; the tannins are not in play, and there is a slight mushroomy finish. Decent value-priced food wine. Could wish for a lot more stuffing but not at this price.

Metallic/minerally. I don't dislike it. Not "big" like a lot of recent pinots , which I approve of (dont care for the super fruity over the top pilots) Could be more balanced but overall very good.

Aromatic nose of crunchy red cherries, morello cherries, a touch of blackberries and cola. Mineral, quite slatey, complex enough. Pure, lean palate, driven by fresh acidity. All about purity. Highly enjoyable.
