2012 Grosset Pinot Noir 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews 96/100 — Halliday (Campbell Mattinson) (2012 Vintage, Published: 21 March 2022) “Juicy and highly drinkable but yet an intellectual style. Ribbons of flavour fly all manner of nuance. Sour and sweet cherry, undergrowth, star anise, sap and peanut. There’s a generosity to both the volume of flavour and texture but it's been tailored tight; high thread count sheets pulled and tucked and smoothed. Memorable.” 96/100 — Tyson Stelzer (2012 Vintage, Wine Taste Weekly, Mar 22 2014) “One of South Australia's greatest pinots, with a track record now spanning 20 vintages, attaining particularly lofty heights in the great 2012 season. This is a wine of remarkable fruit presence, succulent black cherry depth of grand cru proportions and breathtaking violet fragrance. It ripples with pure, fresh cherries and alluring stewed plums, driven by finely textured, silky tannins of impeccable control and great endurance.” 96/100 — Gourmet Traveller Wine (2012 Vintage, June/July 2014) “The deep red-purple colour is excellent and the aromas are bright and fresh. Mouth-filling flavour is backed by soft tannins and plenty of extract. An excellent and complete Pinot Noir with ripeness, vitality, flavour depth, structure and persistence.” 95/100 — Jeremy Oliver (2012 Vintage, Tasted: Jan 2013) About This Wine This Pinot Noir is produced from Grosset's Adelaide Hills vineyards and reflects a style that combines bright fruit, purity and elegance.
