Still very youthful and vibrant. Quite rich with plenty of fruit, plus some savoury interest starting to develop. — 4 days ago

Amongst a selection of top level pinot including Beaune 1er Cru, top level Oregon pinot and a new flagship Tapanappa pinot, this really stood out. Maybe the favourite for a few people at lunch. It’s absolutely cracking and in a good place now, with years of potential ahead but also beautiful drinking today. Fragrant “pinosity” with some weight and depth. Red and blue fruit with savoury characters. Superb. — 5 days ago

In the context of a long pinot lunch, this was a great reference point. It has weight and balance. It’s young and full of potential. Great acid and concentration. — 5 days ago

Exquisitely balanced wine. Served side by side with the Tapanappa Foggy Hill 2017 it was certainly the more composed of the two (although in time the gap will close) and it slipped down beautifully with the lamb cigar entree. — 5 days ago

In the context of a long pinot lunch, this was one of my favourites. It’s still very young and primary, but it’s full of smooth, velvety weight. Plush. So full of potential. Opposite end of the scale to the Tapanappa Definitus, but delicious. — 5 days ago

Great way to start a long lunch, with canapés of oysters and salmon. — 5 days ago

This vintage is so prominent with its smoky, stemmy announcement on the nose. I’m told it will recede and integrate in time, and that the slight pale colour will deepen. Definitely something to look forward to, as the bones are impressive. — 5 days ago

Gorgeous, delicate wine with strong bones. The smoky stemminess is present, reminiscent of the 2017 Foggy Hill, but with more refinement. Fine tannins, precise acid line. It’s drinking beautifully today at release (especially with duck!), but the aged Foggy Hill alongside it speaks of the incredible potential. — 5 days ago

Sure it’s a pinot lunch, but nobody’s going to complain about this as a starter. Beautifully balanced and it lingers and lingers. — 5 days ago
