We last had a bottle on 11th July 2020 and this time it showed better. Red savoury fruits mainly cherry and a plum skin note. Still with that burnt bracken note which is not unattractive. On the palate like Bass Phillip but more succulent. The Macedon Ranges just north of Melbourne is a proven good area for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - a neighbour being the highly credentialed Bindi Wines.

Nov 17th, 2020Dense crimson in colour. Aromatics of red fruits with a burnt bracken note. Medium plus intensity on a medium weight palate showing savoury plum notes. Finishes with fine yet firm tannins. An ok Pinot but I have had better examples of Curly Flat.

Sample half bottle. The bouquet is relatively closed, although with time, that will correct itself. The palate is dominated by red fruits (cherry, strawberry) with serious drive, length and intensity. The spicy oak inputs are enveloped seamlessly by the fruits. This one's sure to go places. Easy to see why it's an Aussie icon.

Drinking this side by side with the 2010. The 2013 is a pretty wine. Delicate and fresh; brighter cherry notes and florals. But don't think for a moment it's a lightweight - there's good structure and acid and lovely texture with a lingering line. Lots to look forward to.
