2025 Mystery Tasmania Pinot Noir Deal No. 6042

97 POINTS

Ray Jordan - Winepilot

The cool climate influence of this very southern vineyard in Tasmania, overlooking Shark Point, is clearly evident. It’s a wine of tremendous finesse, but there is power here and as such, sits neatly into the Pinot blueprint for the finest Pinots. It’s medium-bodied, yet there is ample structure from its slightly firmish tannins and well-weighted oak. The palate has a slightly chewy mouthfeel with bright red fruits. It’s long and sustained, with almost relentless power. Will handle extended cellaring, and yet it is drinking so wonderfully well now.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Delightfully elegant and sweetly fruited, the inviting bouquet shows dark plum, wild strawberry, olive, toasted almond and subtle spice aromas, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering silky texture and layers of fine-grained tannins. Elegant yet brilliantly structured, finishing splendidly long and satisfying.

The vines for this pleasing Pinot Noir were planted in 1991. The colour is an attractive crimson/purple, while the nose reveals notes of spices, bacon fat, dried herbs, smoked meats and sour cherries. There is good balance here and persistence, in wine of medium length. Definitely a wine of promise, for enjoying over the next five to seven years.
