2023 Hurley Vineyard Garamond Pinot Noir

#1 of 43 2023 Pinot Noirs from Mornington Peninsula -
97 Points & FIVE stars - Stuart Knox, The Real Review
Medium ruby-red colour. Fragrant nose of dark cherries, star anise, cola and prosciutto all lifting from the glass. Medium in weight but packing a great amount of red berry and cherry intensity. That power is accentuated by a mix of cola and anise spices and as it drives a deeper curing meat undertone. Great length carried by fine acidity and powerful, sandy tannins that almost feel endless. A phenomenal wine that will continue to evolve with cellaring

 94 Points - Jane Faulkner, The Wine Companion
Lovely aromatics through all four of the ’23 pinots, with Garamond smelling of a sweet shop and a pastry outlet rolled into one. Red lollies, mint, roses and frangipane strawberry tart. How enticing! Sure, it has the requisite cherry accents and savoury notes, blood orange, too, and it’s tangy, a little tart across the palate where sinewy tannins jostle with the perky acidity. It needs food as a partner.
