What the winery says about the Brennan 2009 Pinot Noir . . . .

Dense notes of dark cherry, earth and spice abound in this gracefully balanced Pinot Noir. Delicate herbal characters marry with wild plum and subtle dark chocolate on a palate founded in firm structure. Blackberry briar and a savoury smokiness frame a lingering finish supported by velvety tannins. A classic Gibbston Pinot Noir.

Gourmet Traveller WINE, Feb/Mar 2012 - A fine-textured and rather herby wine with ripe cherry and hints of floral and spice.  I like this fairly edgy style - very complex with surprising power.  It has some of the character of young Burgundy.  A good food wine.  Good drinking now or in the next 7 years.
