Description
"Fragrant potpourri of aromas, rose petals and red berry notes, with a hint of China tea; the very essence of Pinot Noir. A classic iron fist in a velvet glove palate. A lush fruit driven middle, enveloped by powdery tannins with delicious flavours that dance delicately across the palate." - Winemaker Notes
"Deep red with a purple tinge, very darkly coloured for an Australian pinot, the bouquet reserved and discreet but richly endowed with ripe dark-cherry fruit, some fragrant herbs in the background but the bright pinot fruit holding centre-stage. Delicious depth of sweetly ripe cherry favour on the palate, bold and firmly supported by plentiful fine tannins, drawing out superbly in a long tail." - 97 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"What an excellent start to the ’23 pinots at Bass Phillip with the first tier, the Estate, showcasing gorgeous fruit flavours and a high level of detail. There’s an energy and vitality, too, alongside sweet black cherries, kirsch and aniseed with fresh herbs to the fore. It's obviously still very much primary yet compelling nonetheless. Fuller bodied, there’s a succulence across the palate that is caressed by fine tannins and bright acidity. A bit of a showstopper." - 97 Points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
