March 8, 2023 - Bought from the cellar door in 2016 or so. Right in the zone now, don't wait. Plums, dark cherries - the fruit a touch stewed now - hints of chicory and earth. Soft through the palate and finish, tannin and acid integrated. For my taste, lacking a little life and bounce.
February 3, 2023 - Ripe plum and baking spice aromas, medium-bodied, dark fruit spectrum and slightly viscous texture, still persistent primary fruit on the midpalate, some dried herbal notes towards the finish, lowish acidity.
November 28, 2019 - Medium light color, almost transparent. The nose is perfume, red cherries, orange rind.
On the palate, bit hefitier than the Paringa I had with this. Medium acid, silky light body. Orange rind. Cherries. Cinnamon. Cranberry sauce. Another beautiful body.
July 23, 2017 - A bit of a shame to get on this so young, especially given I only had one in the cellar, but first time on Yabby Lake so was curious. Dark cherry and purple berries. Some steminess coming through on the finish. Very nice now. Expect it will show a great deal better later.
January 5, 2017 - Very inviting on both the nose and the palate with aromas and flavours of plum, blackberry and dark cherry. More weight than the other Pinot's, quite thick chewy tannins and a very long finish. Top notch.
October 22, 2016 - With linc at Wooli. Awesome grip and attack. Palate taint?
October 9, 2016 - Pinotpalooza (Carriageworks, Redfern): Muted strawberry, stalks, spice…slightly sour, juicy, unripe strawberry, stalks. Hmm.
September 19, 2016 - MV6 and DV24 clones
Savoury forest floor notes on nose
Smooth with touches of oak. Savoury, fine grained tannins well integrated, finishing spice
Fruit is there, contributing to a nice balance
July 14, 2016 - Wonderful, fragrant pinot, with flavours that dance lightly across the palate but with intensity and a tension that leaves the mouth refreshed.
July 8, 2016 - Rich and fleshy, but still svelte. Red fruits, savoury notes, crisp acidity great length. Yes, I'd like a bottle. [Just found out this won 4 trophies at the Royal Queensland Wine Show. Glad I enjoyed it!]
