Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Mid to pale crimson - actually transparent. The pale colour belies the aromatic and palate intensity. Aromatics of cherry and raspberry transforming on to the medium bodied sweet red fruited palate. A touch of Sous Bois. An excellent Pinot as always from the Applejack Vineyard from Giant Steps. β€” 6 months ago

Rossj - Bass Langhe Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Ming L
9.3

This 2018 Rossj-Bass continues to impress with its vibrant and layered expression. On the nose, the Sauvignon Blanc influence lends bright aromatic lift, offering ripe peach, zesty lemon peel, and a delicate touch of passionfruit, all woven together with nuances of almond and a whisper of jasmine. The palate is beautifully balanced, round and texture with a medium-full body, yet lifted by a lively, refreshing acidity. The finish is polished and harmonious. Effortless drinkability. β€” 9 months ago

Pinot Noir 2017

It’s been a while between Curly pinots. Always a joy to open one, with fond memories attached along with the pleasure of the wine itself. Despite five years from vintage, this is still young and stern but elegant. Clear lines and structure, a spicy, cedary top note amongst red fruit and firm but soft tannins. Clean, I’d call it, plus whole bunch characters. Quality pinot undoubtedly, that should improve even more. β€” 4 years ago

Macedon Ranges Chardonnay 2016

Half bottles are a delight. A lot more developed than the last encounter, in a very good way. Nougat, nuts and sweet oak spice coming through to complement the rich fruit. Delicious. β€” 6 years ago
