[SOLD-OUT] William Downie Gippsland Pinot Noir 2015

Wine Front 96 points!
“It smells of spring flowers. The palate is a different dimension entirely: it’s searingly fresh, cranberried, boysenberried, splashed with beet and rooted with twigs. It’s dry, spicy and seriously firm; it has the intensity of a prosector’s question; it’s a wine of such presence it almost makes you squirm, or fidget. This is the kind of wine JRR Tolkien might have made; it’s an underworld unto itself, simultaneously sordid and soiled and turned brilliantly fresh. The healthiest, most rotten soils often smell sweet and enticing; such is the field this wine hoes.”
Cambell Mattinson, Wine Front, 2016

"Typically earthy, spicy and herbal, this Gippsland contains all those characters (which will further develop in time) but is filled out with an intensely aromatic profile of pretty floral notes and pure, bright fruit flavour too. The wine is linear and fresh with an encroaching funkiness that plays a part but never threatens to overwhelm.”
