Bindi Block Five Pinot Noir 2018

Diam cork closure. "A small proportion of whole bunches (5%) are included in the vats with the majority of the fruit being de-stemmed but not crushed. A small amount of sulphur is added on the first day and the ambient yeast takes about four days to begin the fermentation. This wine will spend 15 months in French barrels, of which 30% are new, and bottling will take place late May. The 2018 Block 5 is typical of this vineyard, established in 1992, showing earthy and spicey aromas with a lovely mix of red and black fruits. The nose is mineral and cool with the usual interplay of restrained promise and hints of fruit purity and richness. Clearly it needs time. The palate is mouth filling and builds on the palate finish for a very long and smooth conclusion highlighted by fine tannin and deliciously creamy texture. Five years cellaring will see its true potential emerge and it will drink well for a decade beyond." - Michael Dhillon
