A beautiful perfume - red cherries and loam. Obviously a new world Pinot Noir but a very good one. Light to medium weight but with M plus intensity on the palate which had a lovely inner mouth perfume with violet nuances. Previous notes from February 2019 but I enjoyed it more this time. Probably have the last one in the next year or two. From the MV6 clone 100% destemmed according to the winemaker notes. Tasted 27 weeks later on 5th May 2022 with similar notes with red berry and cherry fruits and Sous Bois. A wonderful perfume and excellent value.

A good Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir. An earthy nose with Root Vegetables - more Beetroot than Rhubarb - some stemmy notes. Sweet red berry flavours on the palate however not enough complexity for age, region and price.

The strength of the vintage shows. Ripe strawberry and black cherry, followed by undergrowth and herb garden (thyme/sage). Perfectly ripened tannins, which have evolved wonderfully. Drinking beautifully.

Delish and even better by day 2. Complex, bright red fruits yet a very dark colour. Nice fine structure.

A typical Mornington Pinot. Lots of red berry flavours. Really earthy. Good stuff. It went super fast.
