Tolpuddle Vineyard

Tasmania Pinot Noir 2015

I have several previous Delectable notes on this brilliant wine. As fellow Delectable taster Scott Rowe said of this wine “Epic”. Sadly my last of the 2015 vintage Tolpuddle Pinot Noir. There were too many things going for it not to be a success. :-
Coal River Tasmania; Shaw and Smith Winemaking team; 2015 vintage. There were spicy red cherries on the nose. A stalky whole bunch note. (50% whole bunch fermentation). See previous notes. Every year since has been a similar success.

Tasmania Pinot Noir 2021

Cracking pinot. The nose is reminiscent of Central Otago - darker fruit, spice, and earthy notes, but the palate is fresher, with red fruit coming to the fore. Really good mid palate, and enough fine tannin and acidity to lengthen the finish. Smokey, earthy aftertaste. Really very fine. — 7 months ago

Tasmania Pinot Noir 2023

Really impressive weight and balance. The high pitched red fruit and savoury tones provide freshness and balance the darker brooding savoury structure. — 3 months ago

Home Hill

Kelly's Reserve Tasmania Pinot Noir 2017

Rich and luscious - ripe red and black fruits. It’s a funny thing how full bodied this wine is which comes from one of the most southerly (cold) vineyards (Huon Valley Tasmania) in Australia. We visited there a few years ago and had lunch. Medium to full bodied with sweet black cherry flavours but I might have gotten the Food/wine match wrong - too floral and pretty perhaps to go with venison. I should have chosen Syrah or a GSM - an excellent wine nevertheless. — 7 months ago

Fine and detailed. Light bodied, detailed but lacking a bit of complexity and weight. — 4 months ago

Aged 16 Years Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1816

This is a great tipple as the weather cools down in the Southern Hemisphere. From Islay with plenty of peat and smokiness. A maritime seaweed note. Some say Laphroaig is even more peaty but for me, the jury is still out on that one. — 8 months ago

Absolutely John. Particularly if you like your Single Malts smoky and peaty which I do.
