  This is a very high-quality effort at pinot making down under by Penfolds. Unlike their Bin 23, which is a blend of pinot from different regions, the Cellar Reserve is pure Tasmania. Dark and dense, with pungent notes of licorice, black cherry and minerals on the nose, this wine is a deep, fulsome and complex expression of cool climate pinot noir. Almost kiwi, in fact. As longtime fans of Aussie pinot, Mrs L and I somewhat prefer the lighter, more delicate bottlings from Gippsland. But still, we'll have this any day of the week, including on Valentine's Day!
