2021 Ocean Eight Pinot Noir AylwardMornington Peninsula more |
9/29/2023 - vinhonotte Likes this wine: 93 pointsPale ruby core, with slight browning edges. Aromas that are subtle at the start and showing restraint, but then the cherry fruits and violets would emerge slowly along with a hint of seaweed. Bright acids, fairly firm tannins, whilst still light bodied, with cherry, violets, brine, and slight umami seaweed, with a hint of toast, and light charcuterie. Good length. Nice! |

9/29/2023 - vinhonotte wrote: 89 pointsPale garnet with some browning at edges. Dried strawberry and cherry aromas, as well as a hint of dried roses, paprika, and a bit of mushrooms and cordyceps. A rather tart feel coming from the acids, as if orange peel, then some underripe cherry, and also even dried cherry and cranberry, and then pepper, dried roses, mushrooms, and a little almond and herbs. Interesting, but not that what I fancy in a Pinot Noir of about 2 years old |
