Nose: Spiced, dried cherries, apple core, white peppercorns, roasted veggies, casis, black liqourice and an old, leather-bound book.
Taste: A very clean combination of rhubarb, cran-cherry, white pepper, bitter cocoa, cigar box and clove. A very elegant, food-friendly pinot that for the money should not be over-looked – a really nice value for a red burgundy.
