$70, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Macedon Ranges.

Gosh this is an attractive wine to drink. It’s so perfumed and just so inherently Pinot Noir. Flavours of red cherries, pink marshmallows, strawberries and sweet spices come rolled in undergrowth, rose petals and peppercorns. There’s a svelte aspect to the texture, ample energy through the palate, and both finesse and a bit of extra push through the finish. It’s very good. 93+ points.
