This is a heady Pinot Noir with aromas of spiced cherries, sweet cedar box and loads of violets. The entry is silky but it's surprisingly assertive on the palate showing red fruit and a potpourri of cedar chips and dried floral flavours. It has lots of acidity and aggressive tannins that need to soften. I suggest cellaring for a couple of years or decanting at least an hour prior to serving.
