Supper with the wine ark boys (multiple): Funky, perfumed, cream, berry and cherry, slight wild ferment and stalks and with floral top notes…tartly juicy with a more red berry fruit profile, slight tannic burr, polished but a little tart.

Tertiary flavours coming through, tannins softened but still enough to give structure. A lick of acid too. Quite dark and rich for a pinot, black currant, forest floor, stems and earthy minerality. Good round mouthfeel with a solid finish. A great example of aged Aussie pinot, one of the best in recent memory for me.

Inviting nose of smoked salami and bacon, with hints of charcoal and rich, sweet raspberry. The palate shows strong red cherry, with secondary notes that are smoky and savoury without being obviously meaty. Lean, smooth mouthfeel with rich flavour and a good, long finish.

Lovely wine. Balanced with sweet mid-palate. Lots (for a pinot) of ripe fruit on the nose. Seems like a good time to drink this bottle.

Awesome delicious pinot. Rich and full bodied new world style with that lovely slightly bitter red fruit and a long long finish. Love it
