2024 Pooley ‘Cooinda Vale’ Pinot Noir

94 Points, Dave Brooks, The Wine Companion
Sourced from the outstanding Cooinda Vale vineyard in Campania, Coal River Valley; 10% whole bunch, 10 months' maturation in French oak, 30% new. Bright ruby with aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry and red plum cut with hints of brown spice, amaro herbs, rocky facets, undergrowth, roast game meats, vanillin oak and earth. Dark, richer fruits this year, methinks, with dark cherry and plum tones. Some fine, toothsome tannins provide support and there's a dark-fruited textural flow on the extended finish.

93 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Deep, bright red-purple; smoky, dark chocolate, wood-ash, and the palate is medium bodied and savoury, with a lean, dry profile. The wine is elegant and balanced, tapering to a lingering sinewy follow-through. Interesting style.
