Wine Reviews

Bendigo Estate Pinot Noir 2013

XXXXX

95/100

Dense, ripe, fine-grained Pinot Noir with dark cherry, spice, anise, a strong influence of nutty oak and a subtle savoury, dried herb character. The wine has a structure of firm, fine tannins that make it slightly hard to read now, but suggest good cellaring potential.

Pinot Gris 2014

XXXXX

95/100

Rich, fleshy, dry Pinot Gris with a very appealing silken texture. The wine has attractive toast, ginger, pear and anise and clove spice characters.

Complex and stylish Pinot Gris.
