I’ve seen this Riposte The Dagger Pinot Noir 2022 down to as low as $19 a bottle. It’s a steal at that price. Buy buy buy!

Indeed, I judged with Tim Knappstein back in March and he was pretty happy with this Pinot too.

Bright raspberry juicy fruit aplenty in this Adelaide Hills Pinot – like biting into a raspberry! A bit of glacé raspberry, too, from some whole berry carbonic action. Juicy, varietal, no tannins, but so much lovely fruit. Just a little broad to finish. Lovely drink in the best way possible.

Best drinking: nowish. 17.7/20, 92/100. 13.5%, $28. Riposte website. Would I buy it? Absolutely.
