Gembrook Hill Pinot Noir Mayer Vineyard

One of those Pinot's that are just getting better and better. Will treasure my last few bottles. Clear signs of age on colour starting to turn red brick. The palate still fresh, fruity followed by mushroom. All in very good harmony.

Pale and dull in colour. Gorgeous to smell and taste. Red fruits, dusty mineral tannins. Some twiggyness and mushroom. More going on than I can describe... complex.... wish I didn't have to share this bottle and could spend a couple more hours exploring and enjoying, alas less than 1/2 a glass remaining for me.

Strikingly pale colour. Strawberry, slight spiciness and twiggyness, some nougat. Impressive acid structure and long persistent finish, drying and tannic right at the end. On second night, less delicate, noticeably cherried and spicy.

This was truly outstanding. The deceiving pale colour is packed with black fruit and spice on the nose. The taste is seamless and delicate and was enjoyed by everyone.

GT Wine Top Tasting Victorian Pinot Noir (Sydney) : Colour: Ruby, medium minus intensity, clear, legs Nose: red fruit, spice, oak, clove Mouth: Medium plus tannin, red fruit, spice, oak, clove. Nice

Delicate soft cherry fruit with layers of earthiness; very understated. This was a bit like drinking sweet rainwater (meant as a compliment). Nice.

13.0% alcohol. This wine baffled, served blind. Bright red cherry color, though translucent all the way through. Pretty nose of black cherry, a bit of red cherry, and a pleasing earthy/spicy edge. In the mouth, elegant and very refined, with a really pleasant mouth feel and profile that hinted at Oregon. Surprise! It's Australia. With this kind of pure cherry fruit, delicate spiciness, pretty acidity, and strong finish, it's a great ringer and a wine worthy on its own merits. …

Very pale pink colour, pretty. Perfectly balanced, medium bodied. Had a very strong aroma of almond nougat/marzipan that I found off-putting. Will try again in a couple of years, hopefully it will have evolved. Otherwise, drink at christmas with cake. The score is an average between my enjoyment (lower) and its objective quality.
