2 hour decant. Kirsch and tar. IMO the 22 month oak has integrated nicely. — 4 years ago

Beautiful bouquet that still under represents the richness of this wine IMO. Graphite, oak, dark fruit are presented on a structured tannic backbone. I can’t believe this is a second wine!! — 5 years ago

Leaves and soul on the nose with a hint of violets to complete the bouquet. Fully integrated tannins with vanilla oak, charcoal and tar on the palette. The Cabernet Franc is a pleasant component of this vintage. The wine is still in its prime and it will be for years to come IMO. — 6 years ago

A gorgeous red fruited perfumed nose which transfers to the rich totally integrated palate. Definitely one of Australia’s best Pinots and IMO as good as its Reserve in many years (the latter being significantly more expensive than the Premium). The new owner Jacques Fourrier now charges round $1500 for the Reserve so I have stopped buying it. I recently served the 2017 Premium blind to my wine tasting group and they all picked it as a Burgundy. — a month ago

Tasted blind. Light gold color, youthful and heavy in the glass. Notes of citrus, white clay, sea shells, wet river stone, kiwi and some honey. High pitched. Massive fruit and structure. This powered along all night and never slowed down. Easy to guess as the 90 Raveneau Clos as we've had this many times. A debate ensued about what is a perfect white burgundy and where this sits... it would be really hard to get better than this, IMO. Spectacular. — 4 years ago

Christmas Eve with the parents. Ripe red cherry and lively acidity. This paired perfectly with French cut pork rack. IMO this could improve in a few years. — 5 years ago

Young, but a 2 hour decant works wonders. Darker fruits, big time blackberries. Beautiful wine that will be dynamite in 2-3 years, IMO. — 7 years ago
