2020 Coal River Valley Pinot Noir, Tolpuddle Vineyard, Tasmania
Tolpuddle Pinot always perfectly walks the line between sappy, herbal freshness from their 40% whole bunch, and deep, rich, spicy and brambly fruit. This wine is full of cured meat and exotic, aromatic spice complexity - think Chinese five-spice. Fine tannins, massive concentration and a lot of structure for ageing for a decade or more.
