Strong name, Henk. Often the best Yarra Valley Pinot Noir in the Oakridge single vineyard range too. It is a beautiful wine this vintage, too, with lucid red fruit to the fore, even if it’s just a little bonier than some years, which means you can see the vanilla oak and the acidity. More light to medium weight. Gee, it’s pretty, though, with quality tannins. A class act, even if it could do with a bit more meat on the bones.
