I don’t see how anyone rates this over 90. It’s a workable weekday wine, but it’s jammy with quite a bit of residual sugar, thus with more sweetness than many would expect from a Pinot. Certainly there’s also cherry, bramble, some spice and herb. I wouldn’t discount this wine, but it is a Pinot from Australia for $17 or $18 in the US. The airfare on Qantas alone would take up $10 of that, mate.

Yes, still lovely and getting better... medium weight and all the components, per my previous note, are melding together nicely. Smooth. Decanted an hour before starting to drink.

On opening cherries then after some time it develops into more depth, earthy and lamb jus nose, lovely deep cherry, berry and light slow cooked meat sauce flavours... lovely! Good length... Great value for money.

No formal note, this has great aromatics and a palate of both red fruit and mushroom.

Wow, sooo good!!
Sweet cherry and red berries upfront, complemented by forest floor / mushrooms and light vanilla.
This drinks exceptionally well and is so moreish - hard to believe in the QPR even at full price - grab a case if you can!
