December 25, 2021 - Big, robust, deep flavoured Pinot. Needs food.
Up against a aged Yarra valley, yarra wins out with finesse & elegance.
February 15, 2020 - Pleasant nose of strawberries and cherries. Palate has a good amount of fruits and some meaty umami notes. An enjoyable bottle, good qpr.
September 16, 2019 - Nicely perfumed. Lovely, dense red and black fruits on the palate which progress to a nice long finish, with a hint of stems. Shows it’s 14% alcohol a bit but this doesn’t distract. Has a hint of sweetness but finishes refreshingly dry, thanks to smooth soft tannins. Great bottle.
July 26, 2019 - Drunk at home with friends to accompany venison. Notes from memory, nothing written down at the time. This is my last of the vintage. Showing age, but still drinking well. Light ruby colour. Good fruit levels, strawberries, raspberries. Medium length. Soft and mellow. Very enjoyable.
February 15, 2018 - Really a good bottle tonight. Earthy, juicy red fruit with generous mouth feel. A prototypical new world Pinot
January 14, 2018 - Garnet with slight bricking at the edges, and long legs , the nose shows smokiness, cherries , spices -maybe a hint of cinnamon, rosemary, and mushroomy sous-Bois quality. The mouthfeel is creamy and velvety, with acidity still present and some alcoholic heat ( 14 per cent!). On the palate , you get Maraschino cherries, cranberries, and cocoa. Mature and rich and a few years left .
October 14, 2017 - Good nose but lacks depth. Disappointed. Was much better. Bad bottle ?
September 9, 2017 - Very full nose, good balance of fruit and acid, good finish. Drinking very well now.
June 11, 2017 - I was disappointed with this wine. Over-extracted; unbalanced; and lacking the acidity and terroir that makes a great pinot great. Maybe I waited too long to drink this wine? I have some 2014 Dog Point and hope that it shows better than this vintage.
June 7, 2017 - Consistent with previous notes.
