Toolangi Vineyard Pauls Lane Pinot Noir 2025
AU$50, 13.6% alcohol, screwcap, Yarra Valley.
Stand tall, take note, Toolangi has made a statement here. This is one seriously good bottle of Pinot Noir, from the Yarra Valley or from anywhere. It’s taut, complex, bloomed with fruit, structured and indeed seductive. Cherry-plum flavours, cedarwood, lots of spice and florals, crushed fennel in a modest serving size, liquid toast similarly, both a freshness and a lacing of dried, herb-shot fruit. This is an absolutely top-notch wine.
95+ points – Campbell Mattinson.
