Pinot Noir 2014

Still playing catch up from weeks ago. Good classic pinot lines at the weightier end of things. Don’t think it’s improving anymore, but may hold for a few years. — 14 days ago

With Curly, Garcias, Leone at Guido at Serralunga Alba. Dominant barnyard at start, with chocolate, tobacco, barrel. Still full of life. 190 euros.

Curly Flat

Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir 2015

Curly Flat never fails to bring joy to my life. I recall tasting this vintage pre-release at the end of a long lunch on a brutally Victorian winter’s day just before Jeni kindly drove my partner and I to the airport (a story unto itself). I recall the striking vitality of the wine, a contrast to the perfumed ‘14 and more delicate, fine-boned ‘13. It’s no shy wallflower, for sure, with proper acid and structure and weight. That whole-bunch character comes through beautifully, without even a hint of unripe vegetal notes. This one coerces rather than seduces, but it’s nonetheless convincing. Happy to have another bottle or two stashed away, as there’s much more to come from this one. — 5 years ago

Azienda Agricola Elvio Cogno

Cascina Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Far, far better (now) than the 2017, or 2020. Comparable to the Ravera. Big rose hit as soon as it opens. A bargain at $100 from Winestar. Only one, sadly. At home with Curly. — 4 months ago

Always such a killer rose and this year is a doozy. With boundless energy and freshness this is brilliant. Might like more than e and m rose now. Of courts so much less is made. Nose of fresh mid season cherries, some watermelon, citrus, florals, a sense of roundness and richness as well but leads to a palate that is so close to a red wine but still has rose credentials. Amazing chewy tannins and ridiculous freshness and energetic minerality. So dense and lithe. Amazingly building finish. Sweet Pinot fruit. Just terrific. — 6 years ago

Curly Flat

Macedon Ranges Chardonnay 2016

Half bottles are a delight. A lot more developed than the last encounter, in a very good way. Nougat, nuts and sweet oak spice coming through to complement the rich fruit. Delicious. — 7 years ago
