Pinot Noir Blind Tasting #6. Profound, fruity and ripe. Cherry, strawberry, some dill hints. Wet forest floor. Great balance leveraging fruity essence. My guess was Australian Pinot Noir, turned out to be New Zealand. I consider it the biggest fail of the evening.
For some reason, this bottle feels more nervous than Moonlight Race. Lots of cherry, underbrush, leather and subtle hints of VA only increasing complexity of this beauty. Silky structure, long aftertaste. Relatively sophisticated.
