Macedon, Victoria, Australia. Pinot noir. 13.5%. Diam. Source: Cellar.I liked this so much when I first tried it, I've been reluctant to open another bottle. What if it fell short of expectations? Like the books and films I liked when I was a younger man, would it fail to impress an older and somewhat wizened palate. . .
I think this is my penultimate bottle and thankfully it is still delicious and likely to reward additional patience. Crimson and bright, the nose is fresh and the palate pert. New world in accent, but with layers and complexity suggesting far away horizons. Now for the shopping list - perfume and petals (rose), raspberries, stems and earth. Lovely and bright in the mouth, a momentary suggestion of cola and ginger spice but overwhelmingly softness and plush creamy velvet. Till 2017.
