Fantastic aromatics with a real delicacy. I felt that unfortunately the 14% alcohol sticks out a little. A savoury/herbal finish shows complexity. Everything would be perfect aside from the ABV.

Strawberries, raspberries, forest floor, mushroom. Good structure. Needs time, maybe a good decant or wait 4+ years before opening. 94

Great concentration. Savoury twist on the palate. Drink now or hold. WSET Notes: Pale garnet. Medium (+) intensity on the nose iwth raspberry, cranberry, cedar, caramel, cinammon, leather, raspberry leaf and black tea. Developing. Pronounced and dry on the palate. High acidity, medium fine tannins, high alcohol, medium (+) body, long finish. Can drink now but has potential for ageing.

And excellent Pinot showing great development. Still plenty of primary fruit and herbaceousness, but with green tea, forest floor, and game meat notes. High acidity and alcohol, ripe tannins, and a long finish. It is an outstanding wine, though I wonder if it is overpriced.

Best Pinot I’ve had to date! The coloring is exceptional, can’t wait to get more in the cellar

Very slightly dusty blackberry, sweet spice over plums slight toast, slight raisins here as well, hmm. Equally ripe on the palate, chewy tannins and strawberry joins the black hued fruits on the palate which also shows that slight extracted note. Travels ridiculously long, tight. Young.

Think this needs more cellar time, it still has some sharp edges, but none the less a nice drop

Fantastic, light no alcohol coming through makes it very easy drinking, light in fruit. Great with food or by itself

Ten Minutes by Tractor's 10X Pinot Noir 2018 originates from the Mornington Peninsula in Australia and features a red brick cranberry hue. The aroma is initially dominated by alcohol, displaying a mildly sweet profile that lacks some depth and intricacy. However, the palate reveals a well-balanced composition, allowing the fruit flavors to emerge as the alcohol sensation recedes. With low tannins, the wine could benefit from added complexity in the mid-palate and finish. Although not an extraordinary example of a …
