[SOLD-OUT] Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2016

 

"A fragrant nose of rose perfume, freshly picked strawberries and wild cherries, citrus and orange rind. The palate is very suave with layers of riper forest fruits, which are matched by an edgy sheen of tannins and bright acidity. A firm yet juicy finish." - James Suckling

 

"Bright and energetic, this year’s Pinot has an overarching sense of elegance and finesse. Pretty and pure, the nose offers up notes of rose petal, raspberry and musk, and with time in the glass, the underlying power emerges, as do more complex sappy notes and aromas of blood plum, black tea, charcuterie and liquorice. On the palate there’s elegance and lithe power, with initial notes of raspberry and spice followed by an emerging array of complex, savoury, bitter cherry elements that hint at serious underlying structure. The balance between elegance and richness continues to unfold to a supple mid palate that leads onto a generously lifted and expansive finish. A wine of structure and pleasing freshness, promising a fascinating future over another 5–6 years." - Yeringberg

 

"Pinot noir from one of the treasures of Australian wine. When I first opened this I thought it was absolutely beautiful. Perfumed, powerful, taut and terrific. It’s a super scented release and a highly varietal one, and these facets combined with the tightness of the tannin had me really excited. The bottle ended up being drained to the very last drop, so it’s not as if my enthusiasm was curbed in any way, though I probably did come to have a bit more perspective on it. It’s a very good release, a very good pinot." - Campbell Mattinson
