Nov 21st, 2018Good flavour, good freshness, but alcohol far too evident, kind of overwhelming the wine enjoyment. To be reviewed again I guess

Oct 20th, 2017Opened in 2023. Didn’t stay put as much as I would’ve liked, might be storage issues. Remember tasting this in Tasmania and fell in love, however in 2023 it didn’t hit the same.

Aug 26th, 2016Not your typical Pinot Noir. With 14.5 % slightly too much for my liking, quite a full bodied wine. Compared to European Pinots unbalanced, probably best drunk young, same vintage 12 months ago was significantly better.

Apr 24th, 2016Very nice. Smoky on the nose and then a very well balanced wine on the palate.

Mar 27th, 2016Just emerging from a few years slumber as it went through a bit of a 'dumb stage'. Emerges softer, less ball tearing and more complex. I suspect it now has 10 very interesting years in front of it
