Allocation Only - Limited 1 bottle per order Vintage: 2023 Bottle Size: 750ml Closure: Cork Alcohol: 13.9% Tasting Note: Halliday Wine Companion - 98/100 "There have been many great vintages of the Reserve but I can’t remember one having such clarity and precision, matched to a brightness of fruit. So, for me, the finest to date. What’s also pleasing is the clear delineation from the estate up to this, the flagship. It commands your attention yet it’s also welcoming and open knit. There’s a lot to unpack yet the package is complete; very spicy, with florals and sweet fruit, cedar, menthol, black cherries and kirsch. It ebbs and flows with aromas and flavours and filagree tannins (lots of them) with fine acidity all slinking across the fuller-bodied palate. There’s a suppleness that off-sets its latent power. Wow, what a wine! Unequivocally the benchmark." Jane Faulkner - Published 17 June 2025 The Real Review - 98/100 "Deep colour with a good tint of purple in the meniscus; the aromas are reserved and low-key, with suggestions of forest-floor, dried herbs, humus and leaf-litter. The palate explodes with a mass of concentrated flavour and tannin, a full-bodied pinot with impressive tannin structure well matched to the powerful flavour. A majestic pinot noir of enormous length that is still emerging from its shell: at least another year is suggested before opening it. This has wow factor! " Huon Hooke - Published 11 Feb 2025
