At a restaurant on the Gold Coast and not decanted. It would have benefited from one. Very closed. Half the fun of a good Pinot is the nose and this had none. After 90 minutes and with vigorous swirling red cherry and loam notes developing. The palate showing red berry fruits and spice - would love to try this in 10 years time but to drink now is basically infanticide. We visited there 10 plus years ago. Their premium Cuvée was Pipeclay Terrace.

Fantastic. Fresh red fruit aromas rise readily from the wine to be followed with an explosion in flavor. Fresh red berries and raspberries lifted by an earthy minerality slowly disappearing in a lingering finish.
