The 2003 Rockburn Pinot Noir is deep garnet in colour and has a lovely nose dominated by spices and violets. The palate is full of rich, yet subtle black berry fruits with layers of complexity enhanced by fine tannins. The wine displays an elegance and power which lingers long after the last mouthful.

Enticing ruby colour with purple/violet tinge at the rim, the development of a “star anise” spiciness and a familiar scent of violets as the wine unfolds. Drinking well now but has cellaring potential for at least 10 year

The aroma of the 2006 Pinot Noir is classic Pinot Noir; cherry and raspberry fruits with floral notes whilst the palate shows these characters expanded through barrel aging in new and older French oak.
