Campbell Mattinson 94+ points! "Curly Flat is now a mature estate heading into its prime. This is a delicate pinot noir. Restrained. Earthen. Savoury. All good things. Flavours of cherries and mint, brown bread and crushed dry spice. Fine, firm tannin gives it a discipline. Minerally, steely tannin. Water-based rather than alcohol-based, as pinot noir should be. Gorgeous, flavoursome, sappy length. Oak adds texture and polish. Excellent."

Five Out Of Five!"Winemaker Phillip Moraghan believes this is the best Curly Flat pinot to date. Perfumed and pretty, it is packed with cherry, plum, raspberry, toasty oak and spice flavours. Part of this was fermented with whole bunches " stalks and all " which has imparted a perfumed lift and a stalky vegetal character that adds an extra layer of complexity. There's fabulous energy and tension to this " hallmarks of a great wine " along with silky-smooth texture, bright acidity and a finish that fans out and builds intensity as it flows along the tongue."

Jancis Robinson 17/20 points!Paler. Sweet fruit but very pale and dry. Grainy tannins. Long but sweeter than most. Violets. Pretty and fluid.
