Oh, what a treasure. A blend of two blocks which were planted in 1983 and 1989, this silky smooth Pinot saw 20% new French oak for ten months.
I looked at this over a couple of days and it opened up tremendously well. It seemingly continued to evolve with luscious depth and enticing aromas.
Dangerously smooth, it's a Pinot that shows dark cherries, cola, licorice and hints of sarsaparilla. Expected undergrowth and composty aromas saunter through - you get the sense the veneers of interest don't ever stop. Fine spices tingle on a long and seemingly never-ending finish. Another example of how incredible these Yarra Valley 2017s can be.
