TASTING NOTES
Lifted and perfumed red fruits with floral violet notes.The palate is bright and generous with strawberry and maraschino cherry, gamey notes and Asian spices. A wonderfully textural wine with silky, polished tannins on the long finish.
Reviews
Vintage 2021
“Attractively fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows sweet berry, dried herb, clove and roasted almond nuances, followed by a finely textured palate that’s juicy and fleshy. Well framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing complex and attractively dry. At its best: now to 2029.” – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Vintage 2018
“Bright and fragrant, the beautifully expressed bouquet shows raspberry, dark cherry, floral and subtle spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is smooth and supple. The wine offers lovely fruit purity together with excellent persistency, finishing long and silky. Wonderfully polished and harmonious with layers of complex flavours.”– Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“Earthy tones along with sweet red fruits, hints of both dark chocolate and a subtle smokiness add to the complex and attractive aromas of this wine. Ruby in colour clear, bright and enticing. The palate explodes with active but chalky tannins, balanced by sweet fruit, vanilla tones and active smooth acid. Cellar for 5+ years for the best of this wine.” – Stephen Read, Wine Matrix
Vintage 2016
“Gorgeous nose, a mixed array of plum, blackberry with some earthy smells thrown in, no shy retiring sort in the mouth, its bold but classy bold it travels with presence and finishes with presence” – Tony Keys
“A graceful pinot made using partial indigenous yeasts and whole bunch in the ferment; the beautifully lifted bouquet shows spiced cherry, mature game, truffle and dried herb characters with nuances of floral and almond. It is refined and elegantly weighted on the palate, and offers layers of fine texture and delicate fruit flavours, wonderfully framed by loads of polished tannins, finishing persistent and elegantly dry.” – Sam Kim
