Good mid palate weight and purity. Red sweet raspberries get swamped in grippy acid and savoury notes. excellent balance. Good but not great p/q — 5 years ago

Great example of Yarra Pinot & proof that Aus can craft great examples from the right cool terroirs. More generous that Burgundy but nonetheless elegant and varietally pure, this Pinot still retains nice ripe tannins as it ages gracefully. — 10 years ago

Perfumed berries on the nose. Light berries (raspberry, strawberry) come to the fore in a gentle way but with enough structure and length ensuring the flavour doesn't dissipate. Really nice. — 10 years ago
Lovely earthy nose, nice acidity, and beautiful fruit. To keep — 10 years ago
Beautiful Syrah! Lots of different types of layers on the nose and palate. Spice, hint of earth and bright fresh berries on the nose. Palate is full of character and life, with a smooth finish. Thanks @Jake Perez ! — 10 years ago
Very Northern Rhone on nose and palate. The white pepper trademark of Craiglee is tempered with age to be merely spicy. This is the complete antithesis of a Barossa or McLaren Vale blockbuster. Lacked some palate weight - more structured like a Pinot Noir. Some licorice notes. No need for further cellaring. 17.5+ — 11 years ago
Try it with home-made bouillabaisse ;) — 13 years ago

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. — 4 years ago
