A week ago I posted a tasting note on the 2018 Giant Steps Nocton Vineyard Pinot Noir that had won 3 Trophies at the 2019 Royal Queensland Wine Show. This Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Pinot repeated the 3 Trophy win at this year’s Royal Queensland Wine Show a month ago. Pale Ruby in colour - lovely aromatics - red fruited, rose petals. Wonderful palate intensity. Barely medium bodied. I wonder how this will cellar? It is so good now you wonder how much better it can get. I have been a long time admirer of Giant Steps and winemaker Steve Flamsteed who I knew from Toowoomba but what is disappointing is how the price has doubled under the new ownership. I used to pay $45 to $50 for the individual Cuvées and now a little over $90! — 9 months ago

Special and powerful aroma mixed oak and fruitiness, tropical. Sharp woody but rich. Citrus. Minerally. On the way to be matured. But specially complexity. Temperature raising, deeply tasty wine. 2016 @700/100ml(4800), Enoteca T, 211010 — 3 years ago

Aromatics of bright red cherries which extend through to the crunchy palate. Made for drinking in its youth. Mike Bennie pretty much sums it up by saying “right in the zone of complexity and drinkability”. Barb thought too light. Probably a better summer drink than the middle of winter. — 10 months ago

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. — 4 years ago

2nd go round on this guy. A light garnet in color. Very subtle nose. A lighter style Pinot that was very complimentary to our salmon. More of a delightful experience the second time around. — 5 years ago

Holy moley, what a gratifying wine. Uniquely farmy, bloody, tarpauliny, fruity nose- full blown Hermann Nitsch tableau- but follows that with a beautifully deft drink. — 6 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. — 8 years ago
