A hint of cloudiness which has since been eliminated from Bass Phillip Pinots. Earthy cherry notes with very dry tannins. Still an excellent Pinot in the Bass Phillip mould. Had another bottle on 22 October. Colour of cold black tea. Complex nose and palate of more savoury tertiary notes with much of the primary fruit having moved on. A delicious aged Pinot Noir.

Feb 21st, 2016Could tell it was a Pinot with age from the color with tawny rim. Notes of compost heap/mulch/forest floor. Very sappy/stalky palate - some sour cherry. Low tannins still with enough acid to carry on for a while. Great intensity and a delicious wine. 2007 vintage of the Estate Pinot.

Jan 7th, 2016Bass Phillips 3rd best Pinot Noir - the Estate from the 2007 vintage. Nose of sour cherry, rhubarb and stalky sappiness but fruit dominant. A delicious wine with palate staining intensity. With some years to go. 18.
