Becoming a man Paul Monette [Book reflection] Nic Spaull Joshua Cooper Pinot Noir Victoria 2024 (750ml). Producer's Notes: Produced in much the same style as our well known Dougs Vineyard cuve, though hailing from the exposed granite soils of Dash Farm. Bright ruby red, and immediately inviting, black raspberry, red cherry, exotic spices and woody herb aromatics fill the glass, with a subtle flinty, smokey complexity. The palate as is usual for our style is full of red fruit and spicy complexity, structured by fresh acid and fine, powdery tannins which lend plenty of seriousness to this early release wine. Open and appealing at present, this Pinot Noir will also reward medium term cellaring with additional complexity and nuance. A wonderful weekday wine, or introduction to our style.
