Good structure. Medium intensity nose with dark cherry, forest floor and some herbal notes. The palate is medium intensity as well. Again dark cherry, plum, balsamic strawberry and cloves. Very fine tannins support the finish. Acidity is bright and balanced. Not quite the best Tasmania has to offer, but close. I don't feel it will get better from here, but there is no sense of ageing. Should be enjoyable for at least another 5 years, and probably more.

Didn't take any formal notes, but impression was of a typical Australian quaffing Pinot Noir. It will do the service as a lighter wine, but don't think there is anything more profound within this one.

Nice strawberry and vanilla bean flavours. Gentle structure, mild tannins. Light-medium bodied, short-medium finish. OK wine, but no world beater, whatever its show record.

My abiding impression is the wine is soft. It is well structured and hangs together nicely. It's clearly well made, but it lacks personality. I expect a bit more bite or grip. I am happy to have a few more bottles, but I wouldn't seek out more if I didn't.

I'll go with my December note; I see other here are making similar comments. Crowd-pleaser, serviceable, authentic pinot, at peak, drink up.
