Frame, acid, length. It had mostly everything in the right place. Raspberry, cherry, strawberry but not sweet and confectionary. Mostly dried fruit and the tannin and acid structure runs persistently through the whole wine. Great length. Will live as long as any Yarra Pinot I have seen. How is this a $50 Pinot? Well worth an extra $30+. Extreme value but no X-Factor that has me too excited. A solid 95+ points because it has a very long life ahead of it.

Typical Yarra from the get go, nose gives it away. Cherry, Raspberry and strawberry the main focus. Soft, easy drinking. Purity of fruit. Freshness. Touch of spice. Great integrated tannins, I didn't notice much Oak. Flavours carry on.. Very young, but approachable now. 93+ points.
