The depth and richness here is impressive and there’s an interplay of power with elegance and focus that really speaks to top-class pinot. Ripe dark-cherry and spice nose with blueberries and violets, as well as attractive game meat. Pure and detailed. The palate has focused tannins and very intense blueberry and darker plums, as well as blueberries and a clear-cut tannin structure that carries freshness into the long, precise finish. Quality and class. Drink or hold.

From a fab year in Tasmania comes a pinot noir - the company's icon pinot, to be precise - that beautifully exemplifies the meaning of a 'brooding' young red. It's a challenge to describe, you drink it in large gulps of verbiage. Dark, dense, back-to-back black fruits, stewed rhubarb, truffle and leather, violets. It's both savoury and fruit-focused, red licorice mixes it up with smoky clove and cigar box. Tannins run and run. And still so young.
