Extraordinary colour – deep crimson, magenta with an almost opaque heart. Brooding perfume – all things dark… bitter chocolate, intense espresso coffee, plum and wild blackberry fruit. Whiffs of petrichor add to the intrigue. It is a textural feast – full, ripe fruit flavours combine with just the right amount of astringency from perfectly ripe tannins. It is supple and velvety, yet juicy and structural all at the same time.
This is a fascinating Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir.
