when first opened it is tight and herbal, with the scent of blood. but the subtle hints of rock and spice that underlie the pristine cranberry fruit need some years to unwrap themselves. this new 2006 schindler comes out swinging, its wild berry fruit laced with earthy, barnyard funk. tastes like an unbridled mix of fruit and soil, spice and barrel, that adds up to a vibrant, earthy, alive pinot.
