Philip Shaw Pinot Noir The Wire Walker

Brownish red colour. Fresh and intense nose with a distinct pinot character, cherries, herbs, nuts and wet forest floor. Funk and pepper. Hints of rubber. Youthful and slender on the palate. Red fruits and some spice. Slight bitterness that vanishes upon aeration. Fruit forward. Lacking depth and complexity. A bit off balance - on the acidic side, which doesn't advance on day two. Long medium dry finish with fine grained tannins that provides a nice grip. Nose: 92. Total: 85.
