Kyberd Hills Brigadier Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2018

Intriguing and serious, cool climate Mornington Pinot with scores of 94, 94 and 92pts. It's from winemaker Michael Kyberd, who’s now set up for himself but has made wines for other people on Mornijngton Peninsula for two decades. The fruit is from the Brigadier Vineyard, and the wine saw 12 months in French oak and now has seven years of maturity under its belt. “Beautifully maturing” (Wine Orbit). Enjoy red fruit, berries and cherries, hints of rhubarb, varietally true Pinot forest floor characters, with fine tannins and clean acidity assures a clean savoury finish. "Beautifully maturing, the bouquet shows dried cherry, cured meat, earthy mushroom, and brown spice nuances. The palate displays fine flow and expansive mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by finely infused tannins, making it structured with a persistent, savoury finish." (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). "“Dried red cherries and dark cherries, red currants and rhubarb, a slight aniseed character tucks itself away. Earthy and savoury, twigs, pine needles, orange peel and burnt orange all add interest. Super fine powdery like tannins slowly draw moisture from the mouth. A serious wine for contemplation, I loved it. 94pts” writes Steve Leszczynski, QWine
