Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir 2021

Full ruby with purple tints and the bouquet is earthy/broken rock, ferrous/iron-like qualities with a touch of oak adding a smoky, fivespice aroma note and aftertaste. The wine is deep and mouth-filling, showing good concentration and drive, muscle and grip, and an enduring aftertaste. A big, dramatic finish: a peacock’s tail. Beautiful aromatics: a serious pinot noir indeed. Drink date: 2024-2036. Score – 98. (Huon Hooke, therealreview.com, July 8, 2023)
