It smells almost steely to me, which I like, and in with that there’s a pleasing green herb, mint and rosy perfume, cherry and strawberry, some cedar/pencil oak too. It’s medium-bodied with excellent structure, the quality of the tannin here is very good – all emery board and fine grip – there’s also something of a blood orange tang, in with plum and cherry, the finish is all cool and sappy, with excellent length. It’s a distinctive wine, and in many ways quite different to a lot of Australian Pinot Noir, and that’s no bad thing either.
