By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2023 [HH 96]

Wine Front 96 points.
The evolution of this site and wine is complexing, gone are the days of words being
used like bold, brash and muscular. Now two decades of releasing the wine, the
description is fine, vibrate and ethereal. This wine has a retained nose for the
moment, but the mouthfeel is almost jubilant in comparison. Even against the
Sangreal, this feels plush and luxurious. A soft creamy and varietal ripeness, all
swirling around to deliver lots of pleasure. It’s texturally generous and provides a
nice counterpoint to the tight, edgy flavours of spice and pepper that is Farrside. Ben Knight.

Real Review 96 points.

Medium-depth bright red-purple; intense and punchy smoky and stemmy whole-bunchy aromas, charred timber, dark fruits, dried herbs. The palate is again punchy and loaded with serious tannins, finishing with good length and plenty of ripe, savoury, powdery tannins. Impressive style.
