Bindi Block 8 Pinot Noir 2024

Lots of flavour – from macerated plums and cherries, Middle Eastern spices and a slight wild aroma (like bresaola) to cedary oak and quince pomace. Full bodied, densely packed tannins and lots of refreshing acidity. Another year or so in bottle will see this change dramatically. Drink 2026-2040. 96 Points. Jane Faulkner, Halliday's Wine Companion.

The 2024 Block 8 combines rich sweet fruit with earth and savouriness. There's a lot going on here from this powerful close planted site that adjoins Block 5 as it sweeps north. Paradoxically, it is both deeply flavoured and closed at the same time. Ripe red and darkcherry and plum are evident with sweet gingerbread spices working with undergrowth andmeatiness. The palate is rich and full, creamy, juicy, savoury, expansive and long. Seven plus years cellaring will be advantageous to begin with. Michael Dhillon
