What do the experts say?

Dave Brookes [Halliday]: “Pinot noir sourced from the top terrace Moon Block of Domaine Thomson's Lowburn estate. Red plum and dark cherry fruits cut with hints of drying herbs, spice, pressed flowers, redcurrant jelly, salumi plate, mushroom broth and earth. Spacious and savoury with a distinct meaty edge and a stony, dry, red-fruited finish.”
