2020 Curly Flat Pinot Noir

Other Reviews....
There’s an intensity and depth to Curly Flat’s pinots of late and as with this, never going overboard. It’s deep, complex and earthy with damp undergrowth alongside cherries, blood orange and Angostura bitters, plus savoury oak spice. Lots of tannin, but well placed across its more medium-bodied palate and with spritely acidity, it feels effortless to the end. Drink by 2030.

This wine takes a long time to come around in the glass but then, as young wines, that’s often the case with Macedon Pinot Noir. Bindi and Epis are noted slow-evolvers and I suspect that Curly Flat is headed more that way too.
The tannin structure of this wine and the overall reach through the finish is elite. It has ample flavour, in varietal terms, but structure is what this wine is all about. It mixes red cherry with satsuma plum, cedar wood with green-ish garden herbs, and while it has a bit of grunt it’s not heavy; it trips along in its own certain way. Hold onto it; don’t rush in; it’s on its way to a lovely place. Drink 2024 - 2031+
