Notes
“This Special Release Pinot Noir is a blend of barrel selections from the HVD Vineyard (75%), planted in 1984 and the 4 and 8 Acres Vineyard blocks (25%), planted in 1971 by third generation Murray Tyrrell. Representing the best parcels that didn’t make the final blend of our flagship Pinot Noir, Vat 6.†I have the 2023 Vat 6 coming soon, though it didn’t make it into this box. 2023 is a great vintage for Hunter reds, and I’m told that it was particularly notable for Pinot Noir. I like Hunter Valley Pinot Noir, so that’s good news for me.
Cherry and red fruits, a little vanilla and baking spice, some dried rose perfume. It’s medium-bodied, all juicy cherries and spice, tannin offers an emery board grip – lovely feel to them – balanced acidity, with subtle orange peel bitterness on a finish of excellent length. So delightful. Love this. "
