Box Stallion The Enclosure PInot Noir

Date: 23 June, 2012
What: 2008 Box Stallion Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula
Purchased: Cellar door, around $30, I think
Food: Shepherd's pie
Comments: "Be in the game, but not of the game."  This is tasty, knock it down gear.  Has a light colour, with the slightest brown tinge.  Goes savoury, fruity and then savoury - nose is savoury if non specific, then onto an initially classic (as I see it!) Peninsula flavour of stewed cherries and background red fruits but then gets quite savoury as it ends and finishes quite long.  It has a sort of refined muscularity.  Has some Central Otago qualities in that regard.  "From the Peninsula, but not of the Peninsula".  Ultimately, this a fun, quaffing pinot, not a wine wanker one (although far more than a bbq red, for sure).  I would happily tuck into this again.
