Pooley

Coal River Valley Pinot Noir 2018

Very identifiable as Tasmanian Pinot - this one from the Coal River and the high performing Pooley Wines. Last tasting note here was way back 153 weeks ago. Red fruited - drinking this early in its drinking window. Light to medium weight - lovely Tassie purity. Fine tannins. — 10 months ago

Pooley

Butcher's Hill Pinot Noir 2020

When in Rome do as the Romans. Currently on Bruny Island south of Hobart and enjoying the local bounty like Oysters and Fish and this lovely Pinot Noir from Pooley who are in the Coal River district. Lovely aromatics of dried red and black cherry with a whole bunch influence. A light to medium weight palate. — 2 years ago

Vieux Château Palon

Montagne-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

From Laura’s Ets Martin order — had 2015 on 10/30/2021. Very dark ruby. Extremely full buoyant bouquet. Cedar, coal, leather, licorice; secondary cherry and oak. Tannin only mid-palate and light. Jammy finish. Laura’s favorite. — 2 years ago

Clemens Hill Vineyard

Cellar Release Pinot Noir 2015

Aromas of red and black fruits, violets and mulchy Sous Bois. Coal River Valley - close to the Vosne Romanee of Tasmania IMO. Sweet, savoury and intense - more raspberry and black cherry than beetroot. Easy to like - see previous note about a year ago. Had another bottle 20 weeks later on 11th November 2023 with similar tasting notes. — 9 months ago

Tolpuddle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

See previous notes - sadly my last bottle of the 2013. A wonderful Pinot Noir. Along with the red fruits and lovely perfume a distinctly earthy note. The medium bodied palate is polished, fine and long. Owned and made by Shaw + Smith who are based in the Adelaide Hills and transport the grapes from this exceptional terroir in the Coal River Tasmania in refrigerated containers to be vinified in the Adelaide Hills. Quite a daunting exercise but on the evidence of this wine - an absolute triumph. — a year ago

I would grab it if I were you Paul. You won’t be disappointed. One of the better new World Pinots going around.

Frogmore Creek

Tasmania Chardonnay 2020

A buttery style but not overdone. From the over performing Coal River in Tasmania. Currently fruit flavours are subdued but it is very young and will develop. Went well with 6 “delectable “ Cape Bruny oysters grown nearby for an average of 18 months in some of the cleanest waters on the planet. The glass of the Frogmore Chardonnay was too young and was dominated by the fabulous oysters. — 2 years ago

Stoneridge Vineyard King Coal Cabernet-Syrah Blend 2015

Interesting. I had expected a more concentrated wine, but this is almost translucent. Very intense though as expected, however, very smooth in the finish. Both tobacco and vanilla with red and dark berries dominate; needs air to open up further. Wasn’t cheap (forgot what I paid), but definitely worth $100 or so in my books. — 10 months ago

Color of tea. Nose of smoke, peat, sweet dates, spicy and strong alcohol, and more coal like peat. The nose is powerful. Taste is another hit of smoky peat. First sip is dry, however the sweetness surfaces later. Hidden note of marginal sweet apple. Aftertaste shows some baked apple and more smoky peat note. Clean, powerful, straightforward, and tasty. — 2 years ago
