Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir 2022

All up, this spends 14 months in French oak (36% new) and the outcome is an impressive wine. No wallflower as it?s rich, ripe, full-bodied and laden with aromas and flavours of dark cherries, florals, joss sticks, chinotto, baking spices and garrigue. Raw silk tannins flood the palate, so, too the sweet fruit; concentrated and powerful, yet there?s a succulence and vitality within. A lot to consider, including cellaring for a few years before drinking. And yet, for hedonists, there?s an innate beauty making this irresistible now. 97 Points. Jane Faulkner, Halliday.
