93 Points James Halliday

A sophisticated pinot noir with strong perfume, dark fruit and spice characters, twiggy wood elements, a touch of smoky reduction with mineral elements and a suggestion of bramble/undergrowth lending complexity. Indeed, 'complex' is a good word for this wine, the quibble being that it feels just a touch dried out and ruddy, albeit silty tannins are appreciated and the oak seasoning feels quality, if not a touch overt. The general gist is a wine of potency, structure and concentration with excellent length, you'll just be wanting a bit more fancy oak affectation and dry extract of fruit character. That said, this is a serious pinot noir for those opting for impact and impressiveness. Drink 2024 - 2035.
