Super impressive Pinot. Handles the 40% new oak with aplomb and the whole bunch influence by no means dominating. Roses and peony flowers lead before dark cherry, plum and boysenberry, with nuances of stem use, slight smoky and touch sweet oak vaneer. Medium bodied, with fine, sappy tannins and superb supporting length. — 6 years ago

Not bad all in all. Pretty good and would buy again but not a knockout. Pleasant. — 8 years ago

Darkest of the bunch, inky red. Really extracted red fruit, oak and toast. Full body, very balanced with soft tannins. Very long finish. Life is good. — 8 years ago

Fourth flight. I've had many good 2011's so I don't feel I'm biased, but when compared to the rest this wine was the consensus this was the worst of the bunch. It's not a bad wine, lean, red fruits, short clipped finish. — 9 years ago

In the tradition of ice wines and ice ciders. Slightly effervescent and pairs wonderfully with roast turkey. — 9 years ago

Delectable - this is the Perrot Minot Charmes Chambertin as per the photo. The 3rd of the 9 Grand Crus from Gevrey we tasted. Colour of mid Ruby. Hint of boot polish on the nose. Some whole bunch astringent notes on the palate. Barely medium bodied with good acid. A little more mid palate flesh would not go astray. I usually find Charmes a little on the lighter side but sometimes it surprises. — 6 years ago

REALLY nice bottle of wine. This wine has a lot going on. Sourced from a 2.2 acre plot that is right across the street from Diamond Creek, the Dyers put love into everything they make. And it shows. This wine has a blackberry and floral perfume that is intoxicating. The nose was very reminiscent of Cab Franc and in a blind tasting that would have been my guess. The entry of this wine is delicately powerful. It has the blackberry power, the cassis of a younger wine, but the finesse in the middle with notes of graham cracker, grilled meats, herbs, pie spice, cola, and BRAMBLE....just a LOT going on here!! This wine is still very locked up, and takes a BUNCH of coaxing to get it out of its shell. Once it does, it does NOT disappoint. Very pumped about being able to spend some time with Dawnine and Bill in the next couple of weeks! — 8 years ago

Whole bunch love!! Great tannins and deep black fruits. Almost briar like favours. Youthful acid, promising so much future. But given air now, she's a seductive minx. So velvety #bkwines #loveinaglass — 10 years ago

This is the 2009 Shaw and Smith Shiraz not the Chardonnay at the Shaw & Smith comparative Shiraz tasting. Lovely nose of savoury plum. No whole bunch which the 2015 and later vintages now employ. Richer and more traditional SA Shiraz in the 2009. — 8 years ago
