Eddie Wolowski, JJ Buckley, October 2012

Deep garnet core with a dark red rim. The complexity is immediately apparent, with notes of red currant, black tea, smoked pork belly, and spice, along with hints of strawberry rhubarb pie, minerals and dusty cedar. Medium bodied, although the concentrated fruit packs a zinger of a punch. Long and persistent finish, with silky tannins and a liveliness that implies its aging potential. Pair with duck, roast pork, or game meats tonight or cellar and follow over the next decade.

Cropped at 3.2tons/ha and raised entirely in French oak (45% new) the delectable 2009 Pinot Noir has a lifted bouquet of bright red cherries, red currant and a hint of dried blood. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a lovely caressing texture in the mouth, fine tension and poise with crisp red-berried fruits on the shimmering finish. Drink 2012-2017+ -NM

Lovely black tea, signed apple wood and toasty wood spice notes lead the way, followed by racy black cherry, red currant and blackberry fruit, with a long, mineral-driven finish. This has range and depth, yet stays silky and very elegant. Drink now through 2017.
