93 / 100"Cherry, raspberry, kind of succulent, but fresh too, with some spice, perfume, and quiet autumnal notes. It’s medium-bodied, plenty of juicy cherry and raspberry flavour, spiced plum, a pleasing sort of floral mouth-perfume, fine-grained tannin, and a finish of very good length, a little twist of orange peel bitterness to close. I can’t quite decide on 93 or 94 points, but either way, it’s a strong vintage for this wine."

"Bright ruby with aromas of dark cherry, plum, wild strawberry and raspberry fruits. Underlying hints of red florals, forest floor, five-spice, dried herbs, charcuterie, earth and rhubarb. Bright, ripe cherry and berry fruits on the palate, with fine, saline acid drive, gentle tannins and a scattering of herbs on the exit."

Tasting Notes
As one of Tasmania's oldest vineyards, Bream Creek has a long established reputation as one of Australia's leading Pinot Noir makers. Made in Bream Creek's traditional bold style, the 2023 Bream Creek Pinot Noir is another impressive Tasmanian Pinot Noir.
This premium cool climate Pinot Noir has a complex black and red cherry and spice nose, supported by an intense palate of black cherry and raspberry fruits, excellent tannins and a long finish. Enjoyable now, this wine may also be confidently cellared.
