2024 Grosset Pinot Noir

92 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

“Medium-depth of bright red-purple colour; the aromas are fresh and piercing red cherry, raspberry and raspberry-leaf; a note of fivespice emerging already, while the palate is bright and fresh, intense and delicate: a wine that dances on the tongue and begs for a bit more aging time. Fine but firm tannins offer a steadying hand on the back-palate and finish. Beautiful now for its pristine fruit, but will offer even more if kept a while.”

91 Points - Mike Bennie, Wine Companion

“A very curious release. Very loose-knit, sour-fruit leaning, doused with strong red capsicum and mezcal elements with a large dusting of white pepper. It feels sloshy and watery with a kind of confected edge to red berry fruits despite some of those more sour cherry notes and shows a smidge of white balsamic lift. As a fresh, frisky, youthful red destined for a fridge or ice bucket, there's pleasing drinkability and vitality here. A nouveau or joven style emerges, but as a stalwart pinot noir of stately origin, this release feels a little outside the box.”
