Tomich Icon I777 Pinot Noir 2024
AU$65, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This is a firm, meaty pinot noir with ample black cherry flavour, highlights of gum leaf, undergrowth notes running as the wine’s bass lines and floral, woodsmoke and leaf matter characters providing the treble. It’s perfectly well balanced and substantial in varietal terms, both of which factors will help it to mature well. It’s also of course drinking deliciously right now.
