Good depth to the colour; shares the distinctive power and drive of all the top-tier Mornington Peninsula pinots from '16 with red and black cherry fruits contesting front place for this wine, spices evident and will increase with time.

Fresh as a daisy, bright crimson-red colour. Loads of perfume: bunchy spice, mushroom, umami, wild strawberries. High-toned red cherries drive the palate - pure and pristine. Not a classic Paringa; a little unbridled, though full of charm and modern17 MAR 2020 Drink 2020–2024

Deepish red/purple colour, bright and translucent. The bouquet is straightforward and brightly cherry-plummy, with a trace of leather - from oak, perhaps. Pleasing flavour and aroma. There is a good lick of fruit sweetness in the middle and the wine is intense and balanced, finishing with good structure and satisfying persistence. Delicious.13 MAR 2019
