Central Highlands and Ranges
Pinot Noir
Extremely young, it feels like whole bunches were used it.
Crunchy, vibrant even a little too hard.
I reckon it will smoothen down with a bit of time, but I still prefer the Doug''s vineyard. — 5 years ago
Little young, but still a beautiful wine. Has great potential. Look forward to trying in a few years time. — 7 years ago
Sour red cherries, wild strawberry, horse shit, mushrooms. Wild acidity. Years ahead of it. Fresh. Vital. — 8 years ago
Upcoming producer from the Macedon Ranges. Great Chardy. Textural! Leesy! Persistent! Yum!
Fruit from two vineyards near Kyneton. Barrel fermented. Little new oak. No racking of gross lees. Lots of battonage. — 9 years ago
Curly Flat never fails to bring joy to my life. I recall tasting this vintage pre-release at the end of a long lunch on a brutally Victorian winter’s day just before Jeni kindly drove my partner and I to the airport (a story unto itself). I recall the striking vitality of the wine, a contrast to the perfumed ‘14 and more delicate, fine-boned ‘13. It’s no shy wallflower, for sure, with proper acid and structure and weight. That whole-bunch character comes through beautifully, without even a hint of unripe vegetal notes. This one coerces rather than seduces, but it’s nonetheless convincing. Happy to have another bottle or two stashed away, as there’s much more to come from this one. — 4 years ago
Holding up great, this has plenty of fruit and terrific balance of acid. Black tea and earth flavors in abundance on the medium-long finish. No hurry to drink the other two bottles in the rack. — 5 years ago
Well balanced and cherry ripe dark chocolate taste — 7 years ago
One of Australia's best Pinot Noirs. Beautiful weight - perfumed, plush and elegant. — 8 years ago
Full bodied. Fantastic Pinot — 4 years ago
Had 2018 yesterday after meeting the maker. A very good drop! — 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. — 7 years ago
What a wine for a second label Pinot! Good concentration; red and black fruits. Sweet spice and savory herbs. — 9 years ago
Cope-WIlliams doesn't get enough heat in Australia! Up there with some of the best sparkling producers. Huge repository of wines from older vintages. Current NV is blend of wines dating all the way back to 1988 (need to verify tho). Ridiculous nose, complex, long. Yum! — 9 years ago

Always one of my favorites. Not the greatest vintage but still delightful at 14 years old. Thoroughly enjoyed it! — 4 years ago
