Bass Phillip 2024 New Vintage Releases

Bass Phillip Gamay 2024 
$75 | 91 Points

This 2024 Gamay is fine and perfumed to start showing fresh red cherry pit and dried herbs with well integrated whole bunch spice. Fruit forward and juicy with touches of dried tobacco complexity while al-dente tannins provide supple structure to enjoy over the short to medium term. 2026-2030

Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir 2024 
$110 | 92 Points

This 2024 Estate Pinot Noir is fine and fragrant opening up with red licorice, old leather, earth and spice aromas with immaculate purity of fruit. Understated with an earthy core of flavour while tangy acidity adds bite to a lingering, fresh and licorice root scented finish. Charming now but sure to build over the medium term. 2026-3035

Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir 2024
$265 | 94 Points

This 2024 Premium Pinot Noir has a strong whole bunchy feel with beautifully composed layers of dark cherry and woody herbs with a lining of Szechuan pepper and licorice. Complex and a little wild showing strong meaty, earthy and cola tones. Most notable is the firm structure thanks to chewy tannins and vibrant, balanced acidity which builds to a strong finish. A wine built with cellaring in mind. 2030-2040

Bass Phillip Reserve Pinot Noir 2024 
$870 | 97 Points

This 2024 Bass Philip Reserve Pinot is a big step up from the Premium bottling. It started very closed on day 1 but slowly released its secrets with fine but well defined aromas of cherry compote, fennel seed and cumin with a strong dose of new oak well integrated. Most notable is the impressive tension, focus and density of flavour with a firm tannin frame and extreme length. Excellent energy, vitality, composure and balance will see this wine drink beautifully for extended cellaring. 2035-2047

Bass Phillip Estate Chardonnay 2024 
$110 | 94 Points

The 2024 Bass Phillip Estate Chardonnay is impressive delivering a powerful and exotic blend of nectarine and brown pear aromas with a nice touch of orange peel wrapped up in a cocoon of high quality French oak. Quite densely flavoured yet remains light on its feet thanks to a gentle bite of acidity which holds through to a finish of extreme length. Quite tight and yet to flower but its future is assured. 2030-2040

Bass Phillip Premium Chardonnay 2024 
$150 | 96 Points

This 2024 Premium Chardonnay is a wine that whispers rather than shouts, choosing subtlety over overt displays of power. Tightly bound with layers of flint, blanched almond, citrus and oatmeal offer a compelling opening. Strong Burgundian theme here, with the chalky, citrus flavours compact, well defined and focussed with tension and vigour keeping weighty flavours in check. Fantastic energy and shape here which guarantees a long and fruitful future. 2032-2046
