Written Notes
A beautifully fragrant, perfumed Mornington pinot noir, which offers red fruits in abundance, raspberries, some spices and a hint of nutmeggy oak. Well integrated and a slightly savoury finish. Impressive length. Made from vines yielding a mere two tonnes per acre and from a mix of clones, this is a pinot revealing the glories of the region.
Score: 93/100
Best drinking: should drink superbly over the next eight years.
Alc: 13.5%
Light, ruby red colour. Fresh, violet, raspberries. Light, fresh, lean, rasberries. Pure and fresh but lean red fruit driven.
