Brown Brothers particular gift to the world (B)
BIN 75 Pinot Noir 2006/07 £27.00
Stonier – Victoria
Light modern style of Pinot Noir displays fruit purity and majors on the strawberry aspect of the grape variety’s character. An almost ethereal wine, but its fine and persistent flavour makes it an ideal choice for fine days and gentle reflection (C)
