September 8, 2023 - Definitely past it’s prime. Still some fruit in the background but overpowered by almonds and acetone. Can tell it was a good wine, shame.
June 9, 2019 - Very odd reviews for this wine. First bottle was terrible and poured away. Second was glorious - rich, layered and fruit with a nice balance. Reminded me of a grand cru cote du Beaune. Very impressive for an Aussie Pinot and has years more left. I drank this over 5hrs after decanting and it did not fall away (or improve). 93-94pts and hedonistic
October 20, 2016 - Beetroot aroma, sweet palate, bit jammy on the finish. After a few sips the alcohol (14.5%) starts to burn and distract.
June 1, 2016 - Delicious and complex. Ultimately lacks the finesse of a top 1er Burgundy. From tank
June 20, 2015 - Really very nice and in a good drinking spot. I liked it best after an hour but before it stopped being a Pinot and got a bit Aussie
September 9, 2013 - A nice bottle. Burgundy style. Easy to drink with good berry fruits. Ready to drink but can keep for a couple of years
March 22, 2013 - A herbal and grapefruit edge to this full bodied, deeply concentrated pinot in the acid/red fruit area. Tastes slightly oxidised/developed to me, but not undrinkably so.
January 10, 2013 - No Notes. A lovely rich wine.
July 1, 2010 - Wine-Ark Cellar Club Tasting 6 - July 2010, Mitchell, Moss Wood and Yarra Yerring (Roof Terrace Australian Museum): Nose: Obvious raspberry & red fruit, earthiness underlying some toastiness.
Mouth: almost cherry menthol, very tight, slightly bitter tannins and medium acidity. Long finish.
Interesting and built to age.
