4 * Opulent floral and red berry nose, supple, full body, good acidity and fine tannins, developing earthy, savoury character. Drink now – 2016.

The palate has fleshed out with a couple of years under its belt. Plummy with savoury morel, refined tannins and a mineral undertow. Drinking very well now and will keep 2-3 years yet.

92/100 Stylish Pinot Noir nose, very good intense rich red berry fruit quality with a nice touch of spicy vanillan oak in modern Burgundian style and very good fresh acidity, a classic cool climate Australian Pinot whose balance of delicacy, rich red berry fruits and mineral dry aftertaste makes it one of Australia's best. Lovely balance and stylish crafting, a ringer for a good Nuits Saint Georges or Chambolle.
