Toolangi Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2016
Following on from the 2015 [Review] and still contract made by Yering Station's Willy Lunn.It's a pleasure to stick the olfactory organ into the glass with this. As per previous reviews, it's really about the primacy of fruit, square and centre: sour cherry, blackberry, a suggestion of wild strawberry - all with this underlying savoury bent.
The palate is gorgeously mid-weight, meshing together bright and juicy fruit, a little prickle of acidity to alert the senses further. Fine tannin adds another dimension.
Good drinking, a minor quibble over a minor bitterness and the prickly acidity first up. 91
