95 / 100"An elegant style, almost gentle with every element from fruit and acidity to tannins neatly in place. It’s a complete wine. Red cherry accents, rose petals, charred radicchio and a host of spices for good measure. It continues to unfurl beautifully in the glass. As seamless as it gets thanks to superfine tannins and a powder puff of acidity."

Tasting Notes
The 2021 Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir is a beautiful wine from the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, which were hand-picked from the Leongatha vineyard. The wine is fermented in French oak barrels, 22% of which were new this year. It is then aged in barrel for 14 months before being bottled.
The wine has a deep ruby color and a complex aroma of red fruits, spices, and earth. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with flavors of red berries, cherries, and plums. There is also a hint of oak that adds complexity to the wine. The finish is long and lingering.
The 2021 Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir is a well-made wine that is sure to please fans of the grape. It is a complex and elegant wine that is perfect for special occasions.
