simultaneously juicy and velvety on the finish
I'd stash this one away for at least another five years

Hamilton Russell, Pinot Noir Vintage:2010 simultaneously juicy and velvety onThe sublime 2010 Pinot Noir is aged for 10 months in oak, of which 44% was new and the remainder used. It has a ripe bouquet of redcurrant, strawberry and Morello that shows no signs of under ripeness that Hamiltons Pinots occasionally exhibit due to leaf roll. The palate is medium bodied with ripe fleshy redcurrant and cranberry fruit that is underpinned by extremely fine tannins. This has wonderful build in the mouth and the finish is exuberant,
