Bindi Block 8 Pinot Noir 2020

Dried vegetation, red fruits, cherries, dried herbs, and forest floor notes. A much more savoury style. So different to the 2019. Silky tannins, very good length, and an appealing elegance and purity. Lingers beautifully, this has six to eight years to peak. Ken Gargett, Quill & Pad

This vineyard is also planted at 11,300 and 22,600 vines per hectare and has been yielding at around 300 grams per vine. The 2020 Block 8 has its usual darker fruit profile but also red cherry fragrance. It has layers of aromas; ginger, earth and game, brown spice. The palate is creamy and fresh with a supple and smooth fruit and tannin flow. As is typical with this vineyard, it builds through the middle palate and fans out through the finish. It will continue to gain complexity and drink beautifully over the next ten years. Winery note.
