This was a random buy awhile ago. I was looking for something new and stumbled upon this, from memory it cost about $20. Its a French blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Merlot but judging by the taste it's primarily Pinot.
After opening the cork I gave the bottle a bit of a sniff, it didn't really have much smell initially so tentativly I poured a tasting glass, it was a light red in colour with a touch of brown, the smell was definitly an earthy damp pinot.
Upon tasting I was stunned, it was great a nice silky pinot but with the touch of spice coming from the syrah, i guess the merlot helps with the smoothness. Its got a dry taste with some earthy dried savoury flavours. My flatmate said it had a flavour of moldy citrus fruits as you stomp on them, very descriptive but I definitely enjoyed it even if she didn't.
Its nice and smooth by itself to just sit down and enjoy.
