June 10, 2023 - NNT wine club, June 2023: Maturation comparison (Brisbane): Corked :(
Not heavily tainted but the trademark TCA nose was there and the flavours were just non-existent. Sad. -

April 18, 2023 - This is in a good state now. Still fruity and the tannins have integrated. As others have noted the Pinot Noir characters are not especially strong so have rated based on enjoyment rather than adherence to a Pinot ideal.

May 14, 2022 - Dry River Zoom Tasting with Wilco Lam. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Apearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour going garnet. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of stewed red plums, sweet baking spies, cinnamon, blueberry, dark red cherries, licorice, caramel fruitcake. Developed.
On the palate, dry, soft medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of stewed red plums, dark red cherry compote and redcurrant, sweet baking spices, cinnamon, caramel fruitcake. Long stewy finish with some earth and vegetation.
Complex, though not going in a direction I like. I would call it a drink up for my tastes. -
