Almost no smell. Tastes like a very dry white wine, and it’s rather nice. A hint of fruit on the finish. Good.

They had an in store tasting. Bone dry, subtle strawberry, Chinon like chalk and a touch of bitter almond from the pinot gruesome.

Shame about the almond.

Not worth the dosh.

I fancy the Leyda Pinot rose for 10 bob more
