Still closed in the nose and tight on the palate even after being in the glass for quite some time; however, the solid body, long finish, and rather young tannins suggested great promise in the future; overall, 89-90 points for now tentatively.

Taste of Tasmania 10/11 (Hobart): {screwcap, A$48} Something of a flawed taste, with only the dregs of a bottle opened the day before offered, so oxidation was well in evidence. That aside, it had a richer, denser aspect to the nose and palate than the regular offering, but other than that it was hard to tell. You won’t get anyone to drop $48 on a bottle of pinot if the tasting sample is unacceptable…
