Anvers Block 8 Pinot Noir 2025
AU $32,
13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This Pinot Noir feels good in the mouth – there’s velvet to the texture – and tastes attractively varietal. Flavours of cherry, woodsy spice, fennel and mint roll into crushed flowers and cedar. It feels well balanced, and it drinks well. 90 points.
