A "pinosity" tour de force. Suggestions of sour cherry, berry shortcake, classy oak, game and undergrowthy notes merge perfectly. It's superbly concentrated, complex, full bodied and multi-layered, ripe in tannins, lingering and aromatic.

Deepish red with traces of purple and brick in the colour. The bouquet is foresty and humus-like, with lots of whole-bunchy complexities and savouriness. There is dark-cherry flavour aplenty deep in the middle-palate and the wine has full body and generous concentration. Long, long follow-through. Abundant tannins to finish. This is a serious pinot with gravitas and weight and structure. It dips its lid strongly in the direction of Burgundy.

Medium to full red colour with the faintest tint of purple. The bouquet is rich and complex, strongly marked by whole-bunch stalks and by oak, which combine to give a very savoury firmness. There is good concentration and richness, delivered with a solid tannin grip. The tannins are ripe and supple. The wine is still very young and the stems give it a certain bitterness, which needs time or/and food to mellow it out. This is a big, strong pinot which makes an emphatic statement.

Autumnal, mulchy kind of feel, along with poached strawberry and rhubarb, a layer of spicy biscuit oak above. It’s kind of old school Yarra? in feel, but delivers flavour, some dried herb in the mix, good emery tannin, and a finish of fair length. Nice in its style.
