Bass Phillip

Reserve Pinot Noir 2013

As I’ve said previously it’s always a highlight to drink a Bass Phillip Reserve - Australia’s Best Pinot Noir. Nose of Asian spices, decayed plant matter/compost heap, mushroom and Sous Bois in general - a gorgeous nose. The palate is also gorgeous and of profound intensity with medium minus acid - great length and persistence. Treads the line of intensity and elegance. An amazingly good Pinot of Premier Cru but more of Grand Cru standard. I haven’t been buying recent vintages because the French owners have jacked up the price significantly / now approaching $1000, whereas I paid $495 for this 2013. — 2 days ago

@David White @Ron R Just an update on the current pricing of the Reserve - steeper than I thought - the 2019 Reserve is selling for around $1500 AUD in Australia.

What a delicious bottle of wine. I’m not remembering when or where I got this or the cost but I’m impressed with how well it has held up after 23 years. — 2 months ago

Dot's Garden Estate Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2018

One of the best zins around. Slight to medium body, not too tannic, almost like a Pinot. Clove and cinnamon, baking spice on the nose, plum and bing cherry — 4 months ago

More delicate and lifted than the Anderson Valley bottling tasted alongside, despite clocking in at slightly higher alcohol — a month ago
