This dark ruby-colored wine offers an intriguing nose of Allspice, black fruits, and earth. Ripe, with plenty of stuffing, good underlying acidity, and a robust, chewy style, this is a flavorful, muscular Pinot Noir to drink over the next decade.
This immense, super-concentrated, muscular wine appears to mirror the personality and stature of proprietor/winemaker Roman Bratasiuk. Clarendon Hills produces some of my favorite Australian wines, and readers looking for flavor, personality, and pleasure, should seek out this limited production gem.
