Other Reviews....
Great to see the Wantirna Estate wines once again and generously sent to GW and me in a small yield year. Fantastic and unique wines.
Distinctly fine boned expression here. There’s bright red cherry characters, some smoky paprika elements and clove-cinnamon oak flavours, drawing into a woody, dried herb finish. Light, tense, distinctly dry and chewy. Fine, pumice-stone tannin works well. The pinosity is different here, not the silky, concentrated and fine draw expected, but there’s merit in this expression and its interesting to see how this release works. Out of the box in a way, but worthy. Drink 2022-2030.
