  November 29, 2021 - By far the best Australian pinot I have ever tasted. Lots of fruit and power. As good or better than many 1st growth burgundies I have had. Was still going strong 2 days after opening using a vacuum sealer.

  November 16, 2016 - Big nose of red cherry and blackberry over a sturdy oak background. There's a hint of onion, too. The palate is initially heavy, but is soon taken over by strong acidity. Finishes with astringent acidity and solid tannin.

  May 8, 2016 - Lots of cherry & spice on the nose. Palate is medium bodied, nice acidity - really savoury on the palate & more complexity coming through. Would be a great food wine given the flavour profile. Haven't drunk much Bindi pinot, so hard to say how long this will last - would be even better if the palate softened a bit.

  July 25, 2014 - The Great 2010 Australian (Victorian) Pinot Noir Tasting; 7/23/2014-7/25/2014 (Currumbin Valley, QLD, Australia): Bindi, Gisborne VIC
  
  Translucent Ruby.
  Very inviting nose straight up offering smooth scents of black currant, berry sweetness w a very slight hint of Brett. Light to medium Pinot Noir, sophisticated tannins, & very moorish wine from the get go. The first of the flight to get you salivating for food.
  Day 2, wine is seriously holding up, there is white pepper, touch of charcoal, on the nose, & gorgeous blueberries, all sweetness dissipated on the palate.
  My drinking partner found the band-aid character stronger than I.
  This was my personal no.2 favourite, for its elegance & intriguing stature. Would be good to look at another bottle to see if band-aid/ Brett is as present.
  Tried Bindi with 16month aged Gruyere 'Comte' - very nice.

  Nose, faint band aid, dark berries.
  Medium body, some band aid, red cherry, white plum, white pepper and cedar spice. Medium plus mouth cleansing acidity envelopes the mid palate, medium bright teeth cleansing finish.
