10 years old and perfect timing to crack open. Still on the youthful side, colour shows development but the fruit and acid are harmonious. It's a ripe thing, and the warm finish is perhaps its biggest flaw. Still, we enjoyed it a lot.

An absolutely delicious oz Pinot. On the blind, I was in no doubt this was a lovely village wine from the Cote de Nuits. Only medium bodied, charming elegant flavours, still very fresh. Beautiful even long finish of medium weight. Delicious

Nov 29th, 2015Screw cap. Great fruit. Slightly over ripe but very fine intensity. Pretty classy for an aussie pinot. Very friendly

Nice juicy bright red fruit. Med-high acidity provides structure and this will age well. Nice but not great p/q

Apr 7th, 2020Sweet but quite simple. Lovely pure strawberry character, with typical mornington mushroom funk. The peninsula base morel is almost as good. This needs more structure and more complexity. Honest but rather simple.
