  This has matured and softened out nicely. Perfumed with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced. Drinking very well at the moment.

  Mid-ruby colour. Bouquet of dark cherry, spice, rose, and some strawberry. Medium- to full-bodied palate, richly flavoured and almost meaty with dark cherry, rhubarb, spice, and sarsparilla. Finishes fresh, with an excellent balance. Still relatively primary. Ready to drink now but I would say with potential to develop further complexity over the next 3-5 years. I have not tasted this wine previously, am very impressed.

  When I first tasted this wine I thought it would have the structure/fruit to last 5+ years. It does not. However, it is still a good wine now. A deep jaffa colour, ok berries and length of palate albeit thinning a little. The wine has been cellared well since bought. I am drinking without food while watching Sunshine - a great movie. Suggest drinking soon if you have any in your cellar.

  Regionality of Tasmanian Pinot Noir (Restaurant Arris, Cleveland Street, Sydney): Colour: medium ruby
  Nose Farmyard funk, jooby red fruit, slight candy floss (partial carbonic maceration?), oaky spice and earth
  Mouth: Chocolate, oak, spice, bit warm…disappointing

  Nose not particularly compelling for a Pinot Noir. Bright core of sweet red cherry. Multidimensional with both sweet fruit and savoury elements. Good persistence. (91 Very good wine)
