Tasmania! Took 30 min to really start to show it's stuff. Light on its feet with loads of Asian spice

Serious Pinot. Good extract, lots of toasted spices, crunchy forest berries, some real sauvage characters. Long and powerful.

Blueberry nose. Dark with a nice weight.

One wouldn’t think of Australia when looking for a fine Pinot noir. One also wouldn’t think it comes from one of the coldest environments for Pinot noir but Tasmania is far south off the coast of Australia. This tastes like it could come from New Zealand. Very distinct and very fine.

Pretty nice pinot, on the thicker side, reminds me of zinfandel. Dried dark cherry and almonds. Cherries linger in the aftertaste.

Very perfumed fruit. Sweet cherry and strawberry. There is a hard tannic stemmy not e that detracts from the overall experience

If this is what Tasmania has to offer in Pinot I'm on board. Lives up to the hype. A wow experience.

Delocious Pinot, the first I've had from Tasmania. Medium nose with bright, dark, macerated, stewed cherries, blackberries, cinnamon, cocoa on the nose. Medium+ finish, medium+ dryness, with tart cherries, vanilla, some sweet tobacco. A good value at $24.

Raspberry jam and a weird peppery bitter finish.

Dark berry color. High medium body. Complex flavor berry and very fruity. Easy to drink at the beginning and have a bit of a very mild dryness and peppery at the end. It tastes differently when drink different food. I had BBQ chicken and beef which tasted differently - with beef tasted like half pino close to shiraz bodied with berry flavor. With BBQ chicken it become very fruity. Felt like having two different glasses.
