Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023

Intensely floral, as ever, with English summer red fruits, baking spices and darker hedge fruits. Rich, dense, authoritative, suave and sensual. Such a serious wine, in an effortless sense with a tarry, bitumen element, overlayed with roses. Very Nebbiolo like in some sense, yet the seduction of pinot noir is eternal. The elements dominating, a wonder, harmonised whole. Complex tannins; dry, yet silky, firm, but with a cashmere caress. Without a doubt, the best ever, with decades of pleasure ahead. Tasmanian Grand Cru. Norris at Waters Wine

Picked at the end of April and into May with 5% whole bunch and our more traditional Tasmanian clones of 8048 and 2051, this is a classically savoury Pinot, lots of layers with a touch more tannin and weight than in cooler years. Gilli and Paul Lipscombe, Sailor Seeks Horse
