Wantirna Estate - Lily Pinot Noir - 2021

Poached strawberry, cherry, a musky and rosy perfume, spicy woody top notes, slightly bloody/earthy too. It’s medium-bodied, but it’s also a firm and savoury wine, a little orange peel in with cedar and rhubarb, and I like the way the tannin is etched through – you can really feel it – and there’s a firm toasty finish of excellent length. It’s typical house/vineyard style here, though maybe a little more finely wrought than is usual. Very good. A few more years cellaring would be ideal. 94+ Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
