Medium crimson in colour. Notes of savoury oak - a trifle overdone but not unpleasant. A blend of fruit from several of Tassies Pinot regions including Derwent River, Coal River and the East Coast. A well blended Pinot showing why Tasmania is the go to area for Aussie winemakers to grow Pinot Noir. — 7 years ago
Refined tannins, elegant structure, reminiscent of Santa Cruz mountains, very nice. Best Bordeaux blend we've had in Tassy. — 8 years ago

This 2007 Louis upstaged its illustrious big brother to win the Trophy for Best Tasmanian Pinot Noir at the Tassie Wine Show in 2010. Stewed rhubarb notes. Good intensity and length. 18- — 10 years ago

Deep Crimson in colour. Closed to begin with as a result of the Wine Fridge set a little cold. Aromas of currant, blackberry, roast meats, tar and liquorice. As the wine warmed up a hint of violets came through. None of the ashtray notes I have had with previous Spanish Monastrels. Palate is ripe, full bodied and obviously from a warm climate. From near Alicante on the east coast of Spain and therefore very Mediterranean. Ultra savoury with robust tannins. Aged in 500 litres Oak Barrels so the Oak is not overdone. Overall a fairly masculine wine and not particularly liked by my better half! Tasted 2nd and last bottle 107 weeks later on 18th April 2019. Ultra savoury / so much so that the fruit is masked. Aromas of tar and violet with a certain rusticity. Medium to full bodied with fine grainy tannins. — 8 years ago

Flavours of tropical fruit and gooseberry with a herbal edge. Vibrant full bodied palate. Fresh money acidity gives a refreshing finish. — 8 years ago
Had to source from Biodivino in San Fran and had shipped to the east coast. Nose is much like the air Chianti. Like the Baron,this wine has absolutely no rough edges. Pretty, almost Pinot like. Had with bucatini with black pepper and lardons. This would feel equally at home with fish. Really impressed. Next time we are in Radda we are tracking this guy down — 8 years ago
