Black raspberry, cherry and anise adorn this compact, mid-weight pinot. The tannins are a feature here, building quickly on the palate towards the firm, cocoa finish where a persistent charry grip holds court. The fruit adopts a savoury edge with black olive appearing at the end of a fairly long finish. This will need time in bottle to come together and absorb its notable structure. Points: 91/100
Musky mushrooms and spicey plums. Pretty, alluring and complex. Juicy and plush with lovely fine grained extraction Points: 91/100
Raspberry drops, plays the subtlety card but there’s good things going on. Perfume swelling, a backdrop of herb, cherry influences, a touch of toasty char. Real crispness, ‘upright’ driven by the zesty acidity and fine (almost grainy) tannins with fruit richness its equal. Shows its youthful vibrancy, juicy nicely structured, bright piquancy. With food now, or a little time in the cellar.
A classic Nanny Goat expression with a core of ripe red and dark berry fruits, including cherry and dried raspberry, complemented by a fine layer of savoury dried herb, soil spice, and barrel spice. Firm and dry, with an abundance of polished tannins and a distinctive character, supported by a backbone of acidity and fruit freshness. Bright, lengthy, varietal, and complex — a wine that can be enjoyed today or cellared, with best drinking from 2027 through to 2035+. Points: 94/100
