Carlei Estate Cosmoir Pinot Noir 2013
$59, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Yarra Valley.

This wine is testimony to the skill of winemaker Sergio Carlei and also, in part, to the reliability of the wine’s screwcap seal. At twelve years of age it is well developed but it’s also alive with undergrowth, autumn leaf, pure red cherry and assorted soil-like characters, the net effect being a wine that is mellow, intriguing and delicious. Velvety tannin keeps the palate in good shape, as does well-judged (and flavoured) acidity. This wine is fully mature and, with it, fully enjoyable. 91 points.
