Another top Pinot Noir from the experienced hands of winemaker, Tim Perrin. Exuberant florals and summer berries aplenty here in cherry, raspberry, sweet cranberries with a herbal, leafy edge and nicely matched wood spices. Fragrant aromatics light the palate, but it is the fruit-derived complexity from the get go that so impresses: the depth, the balance, the svelte texture and even-tempered style with tannins fanning out in classic Pinot style. Hints at a bright future ahead. While the Nord Block contains some of Kooyong’s newest plantings of Pinot Noir, it is worth noting that they aren’t exactly youngsters but are now 16 years of age. They are now hitting their stride and it shows.
