オーストラリアのロマネコンティ
ピノノワール — 2 months ago
Making notes from memory 2 days later. A departure from trying local Gippsland wines back to the ever reliable Yarra Valley for Pinot Noir and Tarrawarra. Red fruited and sappy. Owned by another Melbourne billionaire, and philanthropist, Marc Besen (like the recently visited Point Leo owned by fellow billionaire and brother in law in John Gandel). . Worth a visit if you’re in the Yarra not only for the wines but the fabulous Australian Art Collection. I had lunch here around 5 or 6 years ago and viewed the art and enjoyed their Pinot and Chardonnay. Footnote: Marc Besen passed away 2 months ago aged 99. — 4 months ago
Delicious balance, curry night with Audrey’s — a month ago
2018. New vintner for us. Full bodied, but with the acidity to pair great with the citrus and herb forward vegetable and seafood centric small plates. We really enjoyed it as it warmed slightly and opened up through our progression. — 9 days ago
Cherries and red fruit, nicely crafted, exciting NZ PN — a month ago
Took some time to open up but became delicious. Lots of fruit but not sweet. The splash of viognier softened the Syrah a bit. — 3 months ago

Brief notes. Another excellent example of Pinot Noir from the Applejack vineyard. Red fruited with strawberry and cherry. Definitely more fruit driven than the Wombat Creek which has more whole bunch in the ferment. The differences are more in wine making technique than in terroir I feel. Sexton possibly a bit of each. — 2 days ago
