Hoddles Creek Estate, Wickhams Road, Pinot Noir, Gippsland, 2019

Fine Pinot Noir nose of dark cherry and fresh herb with richer black fruits giving a sweeter edge. Generously medium bodied with a fine carpet of tannin and precise focus. A darker edge to the fruit profile, even a touch of black jelly bean before a minerally, savoury finish. Texture and persistence are well above the price point. Buy with confidence.
