2024 Palisander Pinot Noir

An exuberant nose of red cherry, pomegranate, violets, sarsaparilla, and thyme. The lifted pretty aromatics give way to similar vibrant spice on the palate. There is plenty of lush generous fruit alongside juicy red cherries, supported by clove, nutmeg and five spice. Soft velvet like tannins work with the bright acid to contribute to a sustained length of flavour.

STUART KNOX, THE REAL REVIEW 94 Points

Bright ruby with purple tints. Sarsaparilla and curry spice aromas. The palate fills with ripe black cherry fruit on entry, tightening as acidity and tannins focus the line. Sandalwood, cumin and clove build through the middle, adding depth. Great length, fine and focused to the end.

MAX ALLEN, AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW

The current vintage, the 2024, is particularly good: bold, dark cherry colour, tangy and concentrated, structural, sinewy with great depth and length.
