Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: lighter garnet red
Bouquet: quite delicate, forest strawberries, leather, some earthiness
Taste: medium body, canned sour cherries, forest strawberries,generally fruit preserve with good acidity and spiciness, rounder mid profile, nicely longer in the finish
Overall score: 4+8+12+7+7=88

Previously had bottles of 07 vintage, now managed to find 06. Looking at my tasting notes of 07 vintage in May 2015 the wines are fairly similar, this vintage, however feels fuller in the mid profile. Very good Pinot at excellent state of bottle maturity.
