Bright crimson. Aromatically, I can't recall a prettier Yeringberg pinot. It's got delicate new season cherries, strawberries, rose petals and a little nutmeg spice. Gentle and sweetly fruited on entry, it's also earthy and structured with fine yet powerful tannins. Finishes long and with a touch of spice. This is destined to age well.
Complex, fragrant aromas of sap, spice, blue fruits, earth, dried herbs, briar and dark cherry. Plenty of exotica and intrigue here. Fleshy, mouth-filling and multi-faceted. Blue and red fruits abound as well as earth and herbs. There’s also a bunchy, stemminess and textured, savoury tannins. The acidity has brightness and life and there’s lovely length and poise.
Vines planted 1969-1974 to MV6 and and old clone from Great Western. 45% new oak. Cherry, strawberry and rhubarb pie, dried roses, toasty spicy oak. It’s medium-bodied, has some savoury tobacco and toasted spice, red fruits, a light grainy grip to tannin, balanced acidity, and a finish of very good length. It feels young and a little bit chewy as at now, though I reckon it’s going to roll out and evolve beautifully. Certainly it’s one of the best Yeringberg Pinots I’ve tasted.
