Kooyong Estate Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

The estate Pinot Noir from one of the Mornington Peninsula’s flag bearers. It’s a wine defined by its shape. It angles towards the finish and then pushes on out; the pulleys are in place from the beginning. Twiggy spice, a general woody/savouriness, dark cherry and a light coating of cedar. I wouldn’t call it taut but I would call it firm and indeed strict. It’s as though the wine’s flavour run on converging rails. It’ll be a better drink in a year or more. 93 Points Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
