"Magnificently composed and styled, the wine shows dark berry, smoked game, tapenade and spicy oak characters on the nose, leading to a superbly concentrated palate that offers awesome depth and richness. It's seamless and silky backed by fine grainy tannins, offering terrific structure and firmness to this compelling pinot" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2020

Smoky, toasty bouquet with aromas of roasted red berries, plum and wood spices. Complex, youthful and enticing. On the palate is where all the action is with flavours of fresh and dried raspberry, spicy preserved cherry, vanilla and clove then a fine dried herb and savoury core. Tannins and acidity are in abundance working side by side adding texture and structure while the core of ripe fruit easily weaves throughout the palate and in contrast. A youthful, approachable, well made wine that will easily stand the test of time in your cellar, but also enjoyable to day with the right food. Best drinking from late 2021 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2020

"The best eleven barrels from Rockburn's Parkburn vineyard and the excellent 2019 vintage. Quite intense, weighty pinot noir with plum, cherry, savoury, earthy, wild thyme and spicy oak flavours. A solidly-structured wine with obvious cellaring potential, but can be appreciated now" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2020

"Deep, bright ruby-black with some depth, slightly lighter on the rim. The nose is gentle, pleasingly fragrant, aromatic black cherry-plums, entwined with thyme, spices and an undertone of mineral tension. Medium-bodied, black cherries, sweet plums are highly aromatic, along with red florals and thyme, flows on a milk chocolate toned tannin and a mineral tension underlay. The mouthfeel is smooth with fine powdery tannin and a light grip, reminiscent of milk chocolate with the cocoa and round-edged; flows along a mineral line. The fruit has good concentration and ripeness, showing good intensity and length, enlivened by balanced acidity, hauling to a sustained finish. The wine is well-proportioned with its fruit and tannin, harmoniously in sync with each other, ready to enjoy now and has potential for longer-term ageing. Match with lamb and venison over the next 8 years. 100% Pinot Noir from Parkburn, clone 777. 13.5% alc. Aged in French oak for 14 months, 18% new" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Aug 2020
