2019 De Bortoli Riorret Lusatia Park Pinot Noir
Dark red colour with black toned edges and a red to dark red hue. Fragrant scents of violet tied to dark cherries, rhubarb and dried herbs blossom out of the glass with some brambly cedar, forest floor and spice notes also evident. Delicious dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb flavours show ample richness and power complexed by notions of dried herbs, brambly cedar, forest floor and spice. Supple texture with sturdy, slightly drying tannins extending right through the long savoury finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.7%

Blocks B, E & F. There's a decadence about this wine. It's rich and ripe – not too much, as it has a coolness of its Upper Yarra site – but more in the depth and how it feels. All the usual and pleasing flavours are pressed together, then expand across the fuller-bodied palate. Lovely smooth tannins and the finish lingers long. Drink by 2032.
