6 PACK 2024 Decades Coal River Pinot Noir 750ml bottle

96 Points - Shanteh Wale - Wine Pilot  'Alluring is an understatement. This is bayberries, mulberry and wild raspberry compote, in swirls through a mascarpone cream. Slivers of thistle and fresh bay leaf nod to the careful selection of whole bunch from Dijon clones. Oak enters in a tree bark savouryness, perhaps cassia and more red gum strip. Red lingonberries come to the fore on the palate with the crunch of white strawberry and leaf too. There is a harmony of silty tannins, punchy fruit circles back and it's the medley of red, winter green and tactile brown spice that keeps you sipping and marvelling. It's a wine of article and design but effortless and pure at the same time. The is clearly the Coal River Valley but with utter sophistication and its giving Tassie a whole new groove. Kumquat and five spice roast spatchcock on the menu? '

96 points - Dave Brookes, The Wine Companion A supple and spiced pinot noir from Tea Tree in the Coal River Valley, on black cracking clay over a calcareous Triassic sandstone. Dark cherry, wild strawberry and dark plum mesh seamlessly with underlying hints of amaro herbs, medina spice, Campari, sandalwood, pomegranate, raspberry coulis and turned earth and leaves. There's a beautiful flow and presence to this wine, the ripe fruit travelling with grace and fine detail. A flair of powdery, silty tannins provides support and a bright, minerally cadence drives the wine forward. The dance between bunchy nuance and fruit purity is bang on here as the wine finishes complex, long and enduring.
