Wine Front 95+ Points!
Wine Front 95+ Points!"100% MV6 clone, around 20% whole bunch fruit. Block 2 has been made as a single block release continuously from 2008 (but not 2011). For Tom Carson, this lieu-dit produces fruit that exhibits 'classic Mornington pinot' characters 'without stereotyping'.
It has an almost brooding bouquet of dark fruits, brambles and undergrowth, five spice, cinnamon, blue flowers and lifted piquancy of citrus. The palate is plush, pluming with more of the berry fruit and faint sous bois, but pure and fine. Has the architecture that is hallmark to Yabby Lake, tightness, needing time to unfurl, but shows a generosity and power that will seduce many. Serious pinot noir, individual texture and shape, opens then zip-locks, built, yet pleasing for complexity. Near complete for pleasure and intrigue."
