Medium deep ruby , bright ruby rim . Exuberant and open from the first with tobacco , cedar , deep crème de cassis , violets . On the palate this is intense and richly fruited but remains really well balanced , with great freshness . Spicy creme de cassis , blackberry , grafite , really quite classic. Reminds me of St Julien with the radiance , sunshine and brightness of Napa. Fresh acidity , ripe but grippy tannins , excellent length and balance , grafite , cassis tinged finish. Lovely now , but still quite youthful, from now and over the next 10 -15 years. At Guy Savoy, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas — 16 hours ago

This was an already opened bottle that belonged to my father-in-law who passed away one week ago from today. I may be a bit generous on my rating given the situation. — 8 years ago

The aroma is spectacular! A fragrance of slightly candied lemon and lemon curd welcome you in followed by hits of lemon grass, crisp green apple, and a slight minerality. The mouthfeel is surprisingly creamy with initial flavors of lemon, lemon curd, sun baked apple, and a slight creaminess. A bit a residual sweetness balanced out this wine but the acidity still shines. Charles Shaw has done it again with another spectacular wine! For $3 my only question is, should I get only a case next time or two? - Ryan, this one is for you! Cheers 🍷 — 8 years ago

Barb and I first tasted this wine at the winery in a structured tasting, as the 2019 vintage on 31 March 2021 and it was very impressive. A couple of years later I bought 6 bottles of the 2021 and this is the 2nd of those 6. Made by the dream team of Michael Hill-Smith (Australia’s first MW), David LeMire MW plus winemakers Martin Shaw and Adam Wadewitz. Appley notes, noticeable funk. More detailed notes over the course of the next 4 bottles in the next few years. A class act from the Adelaide Hills. — a month ago

See previous notes - sadly my last bottle of the 2013. A wonderful Pinot Noir. Along with the red fruits and lovely perfume a distinctly earthy note. The medium bodied palate is polished, fine and long. Owned and made by Shaw + Smith who are based in the Adelaide Hills and transport the grapes from this exceptional terroir in the Coal River Tasmania in refrigerated containers to be vinified in the Adelaide Hills. Quite a daunting exercise but on the evidence of this wine - an absolute triumph. — 4 years ago
