Creekside Cellars Pinot Noir

Lovely savoury Pinot. Not likely to develop much more, but should hold for a year or two. Insane QPR.

Rhubarb and strawberry up in the mix, so in that respect a bit different to most vintages. Fantastic structure and ample length. Love it.

Drinking its best now, medium bodied pinot, red berry stewed fruits with a touch of spice. Enjoyable, as I read on another forum “a $25 pinot noir that tastes like a $25 pinot noir”.

Very light, moderate acid and fruit. Some tannin.

Pleasant but light weight Pinot nose. Ditto palate. Thin and disappointing. Might be better in a couple of years.

Very fresh pinot noir, a little bit sulfite when just opened. There is no such more deep layers of flavors, just pure red fruit. Good to drink, but not worth its reputation.

An atypical young Hoddles Pinot Noir. Sweet red fruits and silky mouth feel not the usual fare. Underneath, so to speak, it’s business as usual as per previous vintages, with impressive structure and length, albeit with a slightly less than usual savoury pinosity. Fine tannins fan out and playfully, joyfully tug for an age, and on that alone I’m tempted to score higher.

PnP. Firm tannins on the palate. It should improve with another few years but very approachable now. I will be buying more.

Delicate red fruit flavours with a little pepper. Light bodied but quite tannic. Great VFM.
