Critic Scores

Gorgeously complex and enticing, the wine shows sweet plum, olive, dried mushroom and toasted nut aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's wonderfully weighted and lingering. Splendidly framed by supple texture and finely infused tannins, finishing impressively long and plush. At its best: now to 2035. $57.00. www.pegasusbay.com. July 2024.

Intense, peppery pinot noir with black pepper, plum, black cherry and subtle tree fruit flavours. Bright, fresh, medium-bodied red with appealing energy. Should age well 19 Aug 2024.

Moderately deep ruby-red, lighter on the rim. The nose is gently full, with penetrating aromas of black cherry, plum, earth, herbs, and savoury nuances. Medium-full bodied, aromas of black cherry and plum entwined with dried thyme, liquorice roots, undergrowth and earthy elements. Supple, silky tannins reflect earth and herb details, providing a savoury frame and broadness to the palate. Lively, ripe acidity entices and carries a lengthy, elegant finish. This earthy, savoury Pinot Noir is refined and has well-balanced freshness and precision. Match with lamb roast and smoked duck over the next 8+ years. Fermented with 40% of whole bunch, cold-soaked for a week approx, natural fermentation to 13%, pressed to Burgundy oak barriques, 30% new and aged for 15 months.
