Nose: An intense nose of black cherries and dark fruit aromas is supported by complex notes of licorice and spice. 
Palate: Rich flavours of blackberry and ripe plum are complemented by more complex notes of spice and aniseed on the mid palate. The wine finishes with hints of black cherry and coffee bean, supported by velvety tannins and light notes of toasty French oak.Striking labels, the Flux series is basically a way for the team at Harewood Estate to push the envelope. And push it, they do. Maturation here is in French oak barriques, both new and older, with no fining or filtration. These are always worth a look. The colour is a pale crimson/russet. Lifted aromatics here, with spicy notes as well as hints of leaf litter, cherries, bay leaves, smoked meats, dry vegetation and animal skins. Good complexity, the wine has impressive length, sleek tannins, fine balance and zesty acidity. It concludes with a flick of sour cherry on the finish. The wine will drink well over the next eight years.
91 pts - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)Good depth of red-purple colour, bright in the glass. Lifted iron-filings/metallic aromas, joined by vanilla, chocolate and Asian spice notes. The wine is bold and firm with abundant tannins adding purpose to the dark-cherry/plum fruit. A solid, structural pinot that will reward a little cellaring
