Murdoch Hill Apollo Pinot Noir 2022

98 POINTS! - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION
"it's tempting to say that it redefines what is possible with pinot noir and the Adelaide Hills." - Halliday

 


"Whiffs of cap gun, warm slate, a bit of flint too, plus dark cherry, salted liquorice. Savoury start, very. Smoky and flinty to taste, an override on dark cherry fruit, plum, licks of liquorice again and lingers with smokiness again. Tannins are grippy and Italianate, but the savoury and herbal elements rule. A caveat for some. Structured, serious pinot noir. A bottle opened day before: less of the savoury elements, chewy, juicy, dark fruited and the tannins ripping with authority. More fruit and herb and spice here. A better wine. 94+" - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front

 

"A cool vintage, but a good one. Typically regional aromas of mescal and dill, derived from a good whack of whole bunches in the mix. Damson, mandarin bitters, bracken and gunpowder, the fleck of stalky, green tannins too evident and herbaceous. Yet the fruit beyond has charm. The structure of the wine has gravitas. This is no simple and sweet pinot. There is more going on, yet only time will tell if the green astringency is to be absorbed."- Ned Goodwin MW, jamessuckling.com
 
“Dense and inky core, deep purple at the rim. Mulberry, clove, iodine, and mocha aromas. Dense and weighty with plush blue and purple fruits driving the core. The fruit sits fresh and lively though, alongside clove and vanilla spices, with a deep iodine ferrous undercurrent. Fine grained tannins keep it rolling along and it finishes very long. It has a classic Vale plushness but without overworking the fruit. Honestly, a bargain at the price.” - Stuart Knox, The Real Review
 

Crafted with 100% Lenswood fruit the 2022 Apollo displays a core of red fruit, wild forest floor aromas and subtle, woody spices. 20% whole bunch influence and 40% new oak adds subtle complexing layers producing a medium bodied wine with intensity and drive yet still displaying brightness and freshness. - Murdoch Hill
