Riposte The Dagger Pinot Noir 2025

Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, the colour here is a crimson/garnet. The nose has some sappy and briary notes, but is full of strawberries and cherries with hints of iron filings and dry herbs. A supple texture, this is still very youthful and the length may build over the next few years. It really does need a touch more length to go to the next level, but is certainly thoroughly enjoyable drinking at the moment. There is good balance right through to the silky tannins. The wine certainly has the potential to elevate itself but in any event will provide pleasure over the next four to six years.
