From a cooler more ‘typical’ Tasmanian vintage 2014 has yielded a wine with notable freshness and finesse whilst still maintaining the intensity and depth of Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir. Deeper in colour than his 2011, 2012 and 2013 Pinots the 2014 shows extra depth and dimension with deep dark fruit aromatics showing raspberry coulis with a touch of autumnal complexity. A deep rich style of Pinot with very soft and polished tannins on the palate with all the trademark texture and Burgundian influence which Apsley is so well known for.
’A dark ruby colour. Aromas swing toward blueberry and blackcurrant fruit, however violets and meaty characters evolve on the palate with time in the glass. Complex secondary aromas with earthiness and forest floor. A firm structure, with grape tannins evident. Bigger in alcohol than Burgundy but more Old World than New World in style. Drink 2019-2024 Alc 14.5%.’
94 points, Konrad Muller, A Burgundian odyssey, Decanter, February 2019.
