  Was really curious to try this after reading a few reviews. Can confirm that it is a big style of pinot. Sees quite a bit of oak that transfers into a fairly prominent part of the mix. Suits the style though. Being a huge fan of Domaine A Cabernet, this feels like a sibling, has a similar streak of earthiness that reinforces the sense of place.

  6 Tasmania wineries Dec-19; 12/27/2018-1/2/2019 (Tasmania): {cork, 14.5%, A$90} Developing nose, a touch glue-like initially, just a hint, then a subdued plum and earth note follows. On the palate the plums fight the hefty oak, a touch resin-like, even after 8 years, but there’s high acidity, medium/high chalky tannins and a medium/full weight. Big mid-palate and good balance at the front and back; some warmth on the finish. A monster pinot – but not a grotesque one – that wants years more aging, and fingers crossed that the dreaded minty character (see older vintages) doesn’t show up this year.
