MOUNT BROWN GRAND RESERVE PINOT NOIR 2023

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"A warm vintage has produced a wine of excellent dark fruit concentration.  Aromatics of dark cherry, rich forest fruits and  spicy undertones. The palate shows good weight and texture with fine acidity giving balance and poise. Ageing in French oak (25% new) and malolactic fermentation have resulted in a complex, well-balanced wine with a generous palate and long finish."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Immensely complex and engaging, the bouquet shows dark plum, toasted spice, tar, olive and hazelnut aromas, leading to a concentrated palate offering plush texture backed by finely infused tannins. It's stylish and elegant with generosity, finishing superbly long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2035."

Rated Excellent & 93+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A significant bouquet with scents of dark berries and spices from time in oak, there’s earth smoke and toasty barrel attributes, complexity and power. A dry wine touches the palate laden with flavours of boysenberry and Doris plums, dark cherry and flavours of clove and cinnamon, vanilla and hazelnut. Tension and poise from an abundance of fine chalky textured tannins and backbone of acidity. Fruit flavours return showcasing the wine’s youthful and new world energy. Well made with best drinking from late 2025 through 2033+."
