January 18, 2020 - Perhaps at its peak now. Depth, power, & complexity. Cherry, red currant, dried herbs, gentle oak. Long finish. Nice acidity.
June 23, 2019 - More earthy notes compared to 9 months ago.
October 1, 2018 - Strawberry, bright red berries, dried herbs. Good balance & concentration.
September 9, 2018 - Mornington Peninsula Tasting and Lunch (The Harrow, Little Bedwyn): Although I tried to stick to WSET style note taking due to lack of time this should be treated as no more than an overall impression of the wine.
Appearance: The wine is Clear with a Pale ruby colour.
Nose: The nose is Clean and Developing, showing Medium(+) intensity primary aromas of cranberry, raspberry, red cherry with some secondary earthy notes.
Palate: The wine is Dry in the mouth with a Medium(+) level of acidity. It has Medium Ripe/Soft tannins and a Medium Level of alcohol (13.50%). It has Medium(-) body and Medium(+) intensity primary flavours of cranberry, raspberry, red cherry with some secondary earthy notes The finish is Medium.
Conclusion: It is a Good quality wine. Can Drink Now but has Potential for Ageing
May 28, 2018 - Pinot Noir at Moncur (Bistro Moncur, Sydney): pretty, perfumed, very slight stalks, red berry, slight rhubarb…juicy, rhubarb and raspberry, drying talc textured tannins, balanced. Yum.
December 19, 2017 - Light brick red with a purple tinge. Earthy red fruit nose. Beautiful texture with a smooth round finish, soft and lingering finish. Not a heavy bold wine but not light or lifeless. I like this savoury style.
August 6, 2017 - Ripe strawberries, red current, eucalyptus and toasted clove. Right balance between bright red fruits and earthy spices. Fresh red fruits hit the palate first, followed by good acidity that ride on a silky mid-palate. Not exactly complex or layers with flavors, it's strength is in the balanced structure and harmonious deep finish. Comparable to a good Central Otago Pinot. Can keep for another 3-5 years or decant for at least 2 hours and drink it with a big burgundy glass.
