It’s actually turned out to be a sizable and richly flavoured shiraz but it carries a little attitude of a cooler climate wine

the attack offers less but the finish more
2024 Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Noir 750Ml Bottle Barbera It’s actually turned out toRed fruit, cherry, a little earthy, with some cinnamon oak showing, and sarsaparilla. Its a more fruity and bouncy expression of Hoddles Pinot, some grainy chew to tannin, a bit of sap and orange rind, something of a ferrous edge, with a stiff tannic finish of good length. Needs a bit of time to come around. Its maybe a little more robust and fruity than is usual for this wine, though its still good. 91+ points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
