Ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits, tobacco, cedar, licorice, light vanilla and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, licorice, light vanilla and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

Fruit forward and elegant. Very tasty and enjoyable by itself as a sipping wine.

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. — 10 months ago

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

9.4

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. — a year ago
