Tamar Ridge Reserve Pinot Noir 2019 13.5% 6x75cl

"96 points The distinguished side of Tamar pinot: sensitive, elegant and sophisticated. A captivating air of rose petal and potpourri. Unashamedly red-fruited, celebrating a vibrant core of morello cherry, spicy raspberry and strawberry hull, nuanced with a hint of white pepper. Whole bunches and barrels played gently and eloquently. Fine-grained tannins grace an outstanding finish. Tom Wallace's delicate side is something to behold, and has yielded my top Tasmanian pinot of the year!" Tyson Stelzer (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion)

This colour is crimson red with hints of purple. There are strong aromas of raspberry and blueberry against a background layer of cinnamon and some savoury/meaty characters that will develop over time.

The palate has mouth-filling flavours of red berrieswhich  are balanced by a good concentration of soft, silky tannins and enough acidity to give definition to a long and persistent finish.

The wine is drinking well now and with careful cellaring will develop more complex and savoury characters over time in bottle. Cellar 8-10 years.
