Fabulous layers of silky tannins burst onto the palate with rich berry flavours
Consistently rated highly (97 & 98 pts) by Western Australian specialists it is probably little known outside Australia.
It’s from Franklin River and not the better known Margaret River region.
Named after the winemaker responsible for 51 vintages of this masterpiece it’s a testament to his craftsmanship.
The 2021 is James Halliday’s Australian wine of 2025.
I think this is better.

I love trying Pinot Noirs from Alsace. Talk about a quest for the Holy Grail. Nose is a bit muted, but shows tangy red berry fruit, mulled spices, vanilla, and warm, moist gravelly scents. In the mouth it’s concentrated but not heavy, with very clingy flavors ranging from dark cherry to savory and pleasantly-roasted root vegetable notes. Tangy acids. Very subtle and unique, and it goes well with the artichoke/bacon quiche tonight. — 4 years ago
Green apple, pineapple, minerality and a lovely waxiness. It's clean with a sweet acidity and notes of stone fruit. Really delicate and something I'd happily drink again and again! — 5 years ago

Clear, deep garnet colour. Clean, pronounced fruits. Dry, high acidity and tannins beautifully balanced. Full bodied with a long finish. Pronounced fruit flavours with a hint of vanilla. Exceptional wine. — 6 years ago

Drinks like a GG. Light golden color. Dry-ish, def some RS. Herbs and flowers. Touch of bitterness. Faintest petrol at this young age. Pretty darn good.  — a month ago
