Aromas of mushroom and forest floor. Great intensity on the palate. One of the most impressive statements I’ve ever read about this winery and it’s wines was from Rob Geddes MW who said “Putting it simply, Bass Phillip has made some of the best Pinot Noir I’ve drunk in my whole life, from anywhere of any age”. I would think that Rob, being a Master of Wine would have drunk quite a number of Grand Crus in his time so this is quite the accolade. Even at 12 years of age still a future - say 3 to 5 years. Phillip Jones says up to 15 years. Palate staining root vegetable juice!!

Apr 7th, 2019Pale Crimson with a tawny rim. Nose of Mushroom, rose petal, compost and red berry notes. On the palate M+ intensity- some earthy varnishy berry flavours. Persistent savoury tannins. A lovely Pinot in anyone's language. BP say drink to 15 years. I have one left. See how long I last! Generally agreed to be Australia's best Pinot Noir.
