<p><b>88 points</b> - Medium red. Quite mature colour. A bit of nail varnish on the nose. Query VA? Sharp alcohol nose. Seems out of balance. Palate quite lean. A bit bony, unusual for a ripe year. Finishes a tad spicy and sharp. Not much fruit core.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, May 10, 2021.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Sweet ripe raspberry aromas, with some dusty, barnyard notes. Full bodied, fairly fleshy palate, some rough tannins though, reasonably well extracted, with umami, juicy characters.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, Mar 27, 2014.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - My favourite of Rippon's pinot noir lineup. Clay vein in the soil. More intense than the mature vine Pinot, lingering on a lot longer. Spices. Pepper. Not cheap, but worth it.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Aug 22, 2011.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Purple red. Nose shows an intense chemical rubbery(?) berry aromas. Peppery again with a lovely delicate balance. A lovely sense of completeness. Lingering fine grained tannins.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Aug 22, 2011.</p>
