Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
See previous note from July 2020. Bright Ruby red. Nose as before with Red fruits and compost heap, forest floor. The palate has those earthy savoury rhubarb flavours and is totally balanced with resolved tannins. At 7 years it is probably at its peak with the palate in harmony with the red fruits (which will fade) and the savoury earthiness. I believe this is the time to drink this even though I see a window through to 2026. Tasted my last 2014 30 weeks later on 30th April 2022. A pale Ruby red with a tawny edge. Amongst the very fragrant perfumed nose there was a sooty note which was a byproduct of whole bunch in the ferment. Also a stewed rhubarb note. An excellent Pinot and 96 points from HH.

Looks like a natural wine in the glass.
The wine itself is methodical and anything but ‘natural’

Pale to mid Ruby in colour. A beautiful perfumed nose with some whole bunch influence, Forest floor, rhubarb, compost heap. Towards the end of the bottle a confectionery, Cherry tart, red jelly note amongst the savoury earthy notes. The sweet palate indicates new world but all its other attributes indicate Burgundy. Red fruits with great balance showing both lovely fruit and skilled winemaking. Excellent length and persistence - very impressive.
