The 2012 Pinot Noir Triple Black Slopes has a distinctive bouquet with quite pronounced peppermint scents that lend it far more exoticism than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red cherry and strawberry fruit, quite firm in tannin and I feel just missing the finesse and precision on the finish that some of the "lesser" cuvées exhibit. It just needs more animation and nervosité to charge through.
