Absolutely delicious. Drank after a bottle of French champagne and what an absolute treat — 44 minutes ago
Beautiful and full body, and rounded nose.
Your typical berry notes with some hints of pepper and spice but very smooth. — 13 days ago
No formal notes. See previous notes for other vintages. Pretty consistent from year to year. Just designed to be smashable. The red fruits, strawberry and raspberry from the Pinot combined with the pepper, spice and herbs from the Syrah. Can’t see that further cellaring will improve it in any way. — 13 days ago
See several previous Delectable Notes. This bottle was the last of 6 and absolutely outstanding. Light Ruby and tawny - semi transparent. Red and black cherry with rose petals and Sous Bois. Intoxicating perfume with dried rose petals and red florals generally - a slight gamey note. Very judicious use of oak - in perfect balance with the fruit. Phillip Jones, the winemaker and owner back then, before the sale to Jacques Fourrier said the difference between good Pinot Noir and great Pinot Noir is texture. In summary a great Pinot Noir by any measure and high Premier Cru in my experience. — 19 days ago
Really deep red. Surprised that it was only from 2021. Had it at Embla. — 2 days ago
Similar notes to 48 weeks ago with a little more fullness. Still pale lemon in colour. More stone fruit than citrus with white peach, nectarine. I was expecting a more cool climate style coming from the Mornington Peninsula. As previous note - some creaminess on the palate but very fruit driven. Oak is well integrated. The first producer on the Mornington Peninsula in 1975. — 12 days ago
Wow!!! What an amazing surprise. I found this wine at a bargain grocery store in San Ysidro, California. I didn’t expect this wine would be so good for US$14
Hopefully I can get a whole box next time I visit the same store.

In Cabo. Bought wine at Costco for about $15 + $15 corkage. None of the options on the list matched this bottle. My bottle says “red wine”, not “Victoria Red Blend”. Worked well with our steak & lobster. — 15 days ago
Thought this was a Burg in our blind, which just reiterates my belief that the Macedon’s the best cool-climate wine region in Australia! I am biased though, having spent a good two years working there. Absolutely love the area, people, and wines. JH’s note is pretty apt here: “From parcels planted at 12,000 and 14,500 vines per ha, clones of MV6, 777 and 667, wild-fermented with 50% whole bunches. Cleverly constituted, with lifted, fresh purple fruits, immaculate balance and harmony, the finish long and persistent. Ready when you are… drink to 2029” — 13 days ago

Complex wine with layers of flavours. Espresso, cherry, black currant. Sweet, then soft, then a tiny bit of tannin bite. Very good. — 11 hours ago
