Wallis Pinot Noir
Mornington Peninsula, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
One of the great names in World Wine IMO. This is the time it takes to cross from one side of the Vineyard to the other, so it's a relatively small property. Of their single Vineyard Pinots I tried to taste and buy the Judd which had Sold Out. This is the Wallis which possesses good structure. A little firm at present. Put it in the cellar. Had another another bottle 6 years later in late October 2023. Still has a firmness to the wine overall which it may never lose. Still enjoyable with savoury red fruits and Sous Bois. Have the last one in a year or two. 90 points.

Red currants, violets and lavender, eucalyptus and a bit of minerality on the nose; cassis, herbs, floral and medicinal flavours on palate, textured tannins, marked acidity and a long herbal finish
