Three years on lees, nine months in old oak, 9.1g/l residual sugar. 100% Pinot Noir from the Pipers River region of Tasmania. Rather primary, a little simple but good.
Generously fruited. Strawberries, white cherries and ruby grapefruit accompanied by croissants. In the rich rather than delicate mode. A little grippy on the finish. 91
