Journey Pinot Noir 2023

One of a pair of exciting Yarra Pinots on release, this has the extra year under its belt and that advantage is currently making it my preferred option – but this is one of those questions where there is no wrong answer. Both are impressive. This is a pale crimson hue with a gentle red rim. The aromas are thrillingly enticing with violets, redcurrants, hints of truffles, cherries, a touch of warm earth and some early complexity already emerging. The wine has focus, energy and excellent length. There is a real juiciness evident throughout. Youthful, but such promise, and it should provide immense pleasure over the next six to eight years. Love it.
