A small amount of the fruit here had undergone carbonic maceration and it shows itself very deftly on the nose, almost like it’s playing peek-a-boo. There’s a very subtle nuance of boiled blackberry lollies and rose stem in amongst some more plush, softer fruits. Nice richness on the palate, plump with stuffing but the length of this wine and its’ finish are most stirring. As the richness fades you can taste cherry skin, cranberry, and white strawberry (naughty children – picking them before they’re ripe!) all holding this lovely tartness that lasts and lasts.
Morgan Dunn was a Melbourne based sommelier with over 10 years of experience. He was one of our very first Winepilots and wrote a regular wine column for The Australian and contributed to various publications including Noble Rot. In 2017 he was named 'Emerging Wine Writer of the Year' at the Louis Roederer International Wine Writers' Awards as well as receiving the Wine Communicators of Australia award for 'Best Published Feature Article or Wine Column'. He spoke Japanese and was planning to write a book on Tokyo wine bars and wine culture in Japan. In his spare time Morgan played piano, enjoyed snowboarding and went to Escape Rooms with his twin brother. He is deeply missed by many.
