2021 Delamere Estate Pinot Noir, Pipers Brook

30% whole bunches. Typically Tasmanian, this deep-though-brightly coloured wine leans towards magenta on the rim. A convocation of red, blue, purple and black cherries illuminates the bouquet, but doesn't warn you of the sheer intensity of a spectacular palate that shouts Vosne-Romanée from the rooftops. There's both textural and spicy/savoury pinot essence at work, making it impossible to wait its turn. 204 dozen made.
