Pale to mid crimson and a little cloudy - a characteristic one used to see occasionally in Bass Phillip as they are bottled unfiltered which adds to the flavour intensity. A beautiful perfume of whole bunch notes, sous bois and a touch of toffee. Amazing intensity for Bass Phillip’s 5th ranked Pinot Noir cuvée. Sweet and savoury fruits. Delivers more fruit on the palate than one would expect from the nose. For short term drinking but still delivers the Bass Phillip stamp of quality.

Slightly cloudy as one used to get occasionally with BP but less so these days. This is the entry level or close to with Old Cellar from approximately 5 or 6 Cuvées of Pinot Noir. Aromas of potting mix, strawberry and savoury berry fruits carrying through to the palate with earthy flavours. Good intensity on the palate as always with Bass Phillip. Cellar up to 5 years.
