Bindi
Original Vineyard Pinot Noir
Macedon Ranges, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
My last bottle of the 2015 Bindi Original Vineyard Pinot. Pale in colour - almost transparent. More savoury, mulchy, Sous Bois than the tasting note in 2021 but it is red fruited with raspberry notes. Fine tannins. I don’t buy much wine these days but I do try to buy Bindi most years. I just received a mixed 6 and put away a couple of bottles of the 2023 Original Vineyard Pinot into the cellar.

Apr 9th, 2025Family home for Christmas so these are brief notes. Tawny notes to the colour when poured. Aromatic red fruits strawberry and cherry - light to medium weight palate. This Pinot was a cut above the normal even for a quality producer like Bindi. An undergrowth briary note which adds interest. We thoroughly enjoyed drinking this. I buy Bindi every year for good reasons. Enjoyed another bottle 43 weeks later on 13th October 2023. Barb really liked this. Aromatic notes - confectionery with bright red and black cherries. Seems much more fruit driven - little evidence of whole bunch in the ferment. Fine tannins.

Dec 18th, 2022Fresh red fruits dominating on nose and palate - an aroma that tells you this wine will be delicious. Barely medium weight but with a palate of medium plus intensity finishing with superfine tannins. Top quality with a drinking window stretching to 2030. First bottle of 4 in my cellar.

Apr 20th, 2022Quite pale in appearance which belies the power of the palate. Lovely nose showing mainly strawberry notes and some raspberry. Very fruit driven with no apparent whole bunch influence. A cool airey wine. I would love to put this up against some 2015 Burgundies- I think it would compare well.
