Pooley
Pinot Noir
Southern Tasmania, Tasmania, Australia
Aromatic red fruits - strawberry and raspberry with a whole bunch note very Coal River in my experience. A very pretty nose not dissimilar to nearby Tolpuddle. Quite a sweet palate. Fine tannins, low acid - not for long keeping. Impossible not to like this.

Jul 10th, 2022Medium Ruby. Nose of spiced Rhubarb and strawberry which carries over to a rich delicious medium bodied palate with mild tannins. The lusciousness is mouthfilling. Rich enough to be compared to a slightly detuned Otago Pinot. Label says the inclusion of a small percentage of whole bunch clusters which feels about right when you taste it. Superb quality ripe Pinot Noir fruit. No other words but extremely moreish. 95 points and Gold Medal.

Sep 9th, 2020Toffee caramel notes showing the oak influence along with bright red cherries and other red fruits. On the palate a nice savoury earthiness - very Tassie. From the Coal River and only 5 klms from the high profile Tolpuddle Vineyard. Tasted again 9 weeks later on 19th February with consistent notes. Aromatic Bright and Fresh. A lot of these Tasmanian producers are boutique small operations who do not distribute overseas and can sell the lot in Australia.

Jun 30th, 2018Pale to mid Ruby - almost transparent in the glass. Very primary with fresh red fruits on nose and palate. Light to medium in palate weight but medium plus intensity. Great to have an embryonic young wine for a change. A wine destined to win multiple awards on the Australian Show circuit - from the new hot spot for Australian Pinot Noir - the Coal River Tasmania.

Lovely and perfumed with hints of cedar. Immediately attractive. Beautiful balance and acid, leaning towards red fruit with some bramble characters. It’s gorgeous drinking now and I’d expect a lot more to come given some time. First tasting of a Pooley but won’t be the last. Paired magically with duck breast in cherry sauce.

Herbaceous nose and "tomato bush" says @Bob McDonald. Delicate peppery finish with good fruit. A little young but good to drink now.
