  April 26, 2022 - It is a good wine but I drank it too young. It was just the acidity I felt needed more time. Otherwise it's a very delicious wine. Light ruby, integrated tannins, some savoury notes.

  August 5, 2019 - Young and unevolved - tightly coiled even. Spicy and almost peppery, herbs, brambles, earth. Flowers on the nose - rose? Really needs a few more years to settle but should be a real beauty then.

  July 6, 2017 - I will say at the outset that this is really not my preferred style of Pinot. I usually prefer a darker more savoury style of pinot, with depth and power to the fruit. This wine is none of those things. But wow, it is a truly beautiful wine. Excruciatingly beautiful really. The nose is delicate, with the gentle aromas of a damask rose garden. For a Tassie pinot it is somewhat light bodied, preferring delicate precision over power and finesse.
  
  The fruit are predominately in the red cherry and strawberry spectrum, rather than my preferred darker fruits. Although the palate is beautifully perfumed and nicely layered. The mid-palate is not overly complex, but there are some soft spices, the lightest dash of vanilla and a gentle brambly sappiness. The balance however is sheer perfection. The tannins are fine and supple, and lead to a clean and seemingly endless finish.
  
  It is undoubtably one of the most “beautiful” pinot’s I have drunk. It is a very polished wine. Is it my style of pinot? Not really, but it might just be good enough to change my mind! It’s not so much a question of it being good, but how good.
