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

Love the sour zing in this Tassie Pinot almost like orange rind. Loads of black fruits and black cherries, fine tannins that fade just a little too quickly for my liking, probably because it's an '11. French oak nicely balanced and doesn't overpower. Could be mistaken for an Otago. — 11 years ago

Very interesting nose, difficult to pick it is a cab merlot. Sour cherry and rich plum on the front the Cabernet is evident in the middle back palate with some velvety tannins. lovely accompaniment to chicken schnitzel dinner. — 6 years ago
Baked pear and hazelnut. Honey and lean acidity on the finish. Wonderful with cheese plate and flatbread snacks. Yay Tasmania -- neat expression of cool climate PG. — 6 years ago
A very funky alluring glass of Chardonnay. It could be a high quality Village or Premier Cru Burgundy . Evidence of lees stirring. It is worked but in a good way and not overdone. Down in Launceston at the Annual Pinot and Truffle Festival. When in Rome......... — 7 years ago

A spiced bowlful of cherries and red currants. Warm, soft, just enough vanilla to ensure a velvety finish. Yum. — 10 years ago

Very pale lemon in colour. Tasted after the Premier Cru Hubert Lamy and similar in many ways - the texture, the acid, the citrus the subdued oak influence, but not as much minerality or salinity. Made by Sue Bell at her Bellwether winery in Coonawarra from Chardonnay grapes from the Tamar River in Tasmania. A good wine in the leaner style - showing the quality of Tasmanian Chardonnay. Consistent notes 88 weeks later on 9th December 2020. Chablisesque. Grapefruit notes. Still bracing acidity. — 6 years ago
Compelling. First Tasmanian wine I’ve ever had. Super fresh fruit. Would love some tuna steak with this. — 7 years ago
Toffee caramel notes showing the oak influence along with bright red cherries and other red fruits. On the palate a nice savoury earthiness - very Tassie. From the Coal River and only 5 klms from the high profile Tolpuddle Vineyard. Tasted again 9 weeks later on 19th February with consistent notes. Aromatic Bright and Fresh. A lot of these Tasmanian producers are boutique small operations who do not distribute overseas and can sell the lot in Australia. — 7 years ago
Brought this bottle back from Tasmania over 3 years ago, dense fruit, steely core, spicy Pinot noir from another universe — 9 years ago

Drank 2009 - still so fresh, lime in colour and zesty in the mouth, but with an undertone of oily aged delight. Fantastic. — 6 years ago
