Description
A Tasmanian Pinot with a raft of high point scores up to 95pts. "…a most evocative style of Pinot Noir, beautifully fragrant. We have notes of florals, cherries, spices and raspberries. An exquisitely pretty version of this great grape, this is seamless and immaculately balanced with excellent length. Stunning value, this is a cracking Pinot Noir and certainly the best Protégé I can recall.95pts" (Ken Gargett, WinePilot).
Ray Jordan likes its: "…floral strawberry and subtle cranberry juice character. The palate is dry and slightly savoury, with very fine tannins supporting the medium-weight fruit. It has a typical crisp acidity to finish.92pts” and Sam Kim Wine Orbit finds it: "Charming and inviting, the bouquet shows sweet plum, red cherry, floral, olive, clove, and toasted-nut aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate with bright fruit flavours and savoury nuances. It's elegantly textured and rounded with a lengthy, supple finish.93pts."
