2025-08-15T14:43:59Z

97 points - Medium dark red purple. Complex and mysterious aromas, spicy and detailed. Beautifully complete wine, seamless, powerful, complex and profound. There is a density and tight knit structure that is rare in pinot. Spectacular.

2012 Mt Difficulty Single Vineyard Long Gully Pinot Noir

2025-08-07T12:43:03Z

95 points - Medium dark purple red. Complex, dark spiced aromas, smoked meats. Great concentration and depth of flavour, detail and interest on the palate. Tannins must have been formidable in the youth but persistent now and very long.

2010 Mt Difficulty Single Vineyard Long Gully Pinot Noir

2024-08-04T10:18:25Z

97 points - Medium unfiltered red. Whole bunch nuances evident on the nose and palate, minty, herbal notes, meaty, developed aromas. Drinking at its peak no doubt, the tannins are now absolutely melded and in great harmony with the fruit, this wine has stature and presence, yet restraint and refinement. Long and emphatic, there is singing fruit clarity still here; this must have been a big, powerful wine in its youth. Quite a stunner.

2015 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir

2022-12-15T10:20:17Z

92 points - Medium red, showing some development. Dark to red fruits on the nose, perhaps sour cherry. Mellowed palate, tannins fully integrated. There are hints of spice and mushrooms too. Fruit flavour still present but not dominant. Well developed and integrated. Not sure this will develop much further, probably at peak now. Later: beautifully integrated cherry tones. Lovely maturity. Excellent match with duck. It’s not super complex, but eminently drinkable!

2015 Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir

2022-12-16T06:52:45Z

91 points - Dark medium purple red. Slightly pongy on the nose, spicy, earthbound. Ripe, a touch extracted tasting, fruit sweet, ending on charry bitterness. Juicy, and lacking finesse. Still, a moreish, bold and big style of pinot.
