Riorret, The Abbey, Yarra Valley, Victoria, 2010

Tasting: Tasmania & Victoria Pinot Noir

Firm, fresh, vivid and vibrant red fruit scents. Pure, smooth, long and vivid on the palate, too. A virtuoso wine in terms of fruit flavours; a disquisition on red fruits. The red fruits linger into the after-taste, too, and then perfume the breath for 30 seconds. Lovely stuff.

Tasting: Tasmania & Victoria Pinot Noir

Savoury and violets on nose, luscious and deep, strong, intense fruit-driven wine, seemed a bit robust, maybe with age this will become a more relaxed wine, currently too much happening,

Tasting: Tasmania & Victoria Pinot Noir

Very pungent nose with notes of sour cherries and vanilla oak. Full bodied, structured and rich with a long, juicy aftertaste.
