Really showing well for a 15 yr old Pinot- cola, rhubarb and blackberry on the nose, full bodied and lush tannins. Quite sweet but balanced

One of the showstoppers at the #Tantris #IPOB dinner 2016. So composed, focused and intense.

Really enjoyed this. The texture, weight, ripe PInot Noir Flavors were very well balanced "A Champion" !

Impressed by this. Good amount of baking spice and lighter on the fruit but what is there is lovely. I wonder if it was the age that decreased the fruit but it tasted great. Almost too easy to drink!
