98 Points James Halliday
Vinified with 40% whole bunches in open fermenters, the parcels spending 15-25 days on skins, matured in French barriques (30% new). This is an awesome wine, its bouquet charged with a distilled essence of cherry, strawberry and plum. There's nothing heavy-handed here, just sublime length, offering a virtually limitless future. Drink to 2035.

Deepish red with a good strong purple tint: a remarkable colour for a Tasmanian pinot. The bouquet is wonderfully aromatic and lifted, with dark to red cherry and spice aromas, the palate medium to full-bodied and rich, with density and weight and fleshy extract. The whole-bunch/stemmy characters are discreet and well managed. An outstanding pinot noir with irresistible flavours and aromas. Drink 2018 - 2032.

Deep colour, remarkable for a Tasmanian pinot; cool spicy, bunchy bouquet, very complex. Sousbois and cherry. The palate has great tension, drive and length. A superb wine. Drink to 2033.
