I am pleased that I retasted this pinot which has evolved nicely since I last tasted it six months ago and it now...
The latest Bicicleta shows some pinot form on the nose mixing rooty, smoky, compost and cherry aromas. The attack is...
Pretty good freshness, energy and complexity here for the price, with sour red cherry/cranberry, wood smoke and...

For $10 you will never get close to a DRC, but I also never had a Pinot at this price that I liked either until this one
Description: Medium light ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features a barnyard nose with light pine, cherry, raspberry, red tea, forest greens and smoked charcoal. Medium body and tannin with good acidity, a fairly long length and the alcohol is well integrated.
Negatives: None
Interesting Point: For those unfamiliar; DRC (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) is the benchmark for the world’s top and most expensive Pinots. Remember to lightly chill this wine and use balloon style glassware.
Drink now or in the next 3 of years on its own or pair it with Grilled Porcini Mushroom Risotto.

Juicy red fruit with a touch of floral spice and a hint of leafy/pine/eucalytpus. Fantastic value, pretty well-balanced, lighter red.
Excellent value pinot noir.
Traditional nose of tart cherry, with ripe strawberry. A bit hot on the nose re alcohol. Leather evident.
On the palate, tart cherry and red fruits, acid is slightly high for balance. Finish falls off a little too quickly.
For the price though, this is hard to beat.
Tasted February 2014.
