Svelte. Silky and Lacey, this Cri de Coeur is a divine Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir from Crittenden.
A wine with fabulous agility and grace, yet it comes with well-handled depth and detail. Dark cherries, strawberries, slivers of finely grated dark chocolate, mushroom compost and tea leaves introduce themselves with a scope of grandeur and elegance. Apricot kernel, smoked meats and orange rind work their way nicely into the frame but the shape and attractive bevelled edges have me fixated. Fine-grained tannins are melting and build a captivating moreishness. What a beautiful wine to embrace with the one you love.
Drink to eight years.
