Very good Pinot Noir from the Freycinet Coast of Tasmania. I prefer my Pinots to walk a little more on the wild side but there’s not much doubt that this will strike a chord with many. And it deserves to.
Has a bit of grunt to it. Strawberry jam, toasty oak, brambly fruits, stringy rhubarb and plums. With all of its intensity and richness it still sits in the medium-bodied category. More silk than velvet in the mouth but there’s certainly a nod to the latter. Appreciable fine tannin and good reach. 92
