Tannins are fine and beautifully infused, making it superbly structured with a sustained, refined finish. At its best: 2026 to 2038\" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Moderately deep crimson, lighter on the rim. The nose is immediately pleasing, with concentrated aromas of cherry, black raspberry, deep floral, undergrowth, and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, with aromas of red cherry and black raspberry entwined with tamarillo, unfolding black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg spices, undergrowth and hibiscus. Lacy, enticing acidity flows with good energy and precision. Finely woven, powdery tannins coated the mouth in satin and imparted deep fragrances that lingered. An exceptional vintage, this wine is a classic Gibbston Pinot Noir, seductive, harmonious, and profound, one for the long-term cellar\" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Apr 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2023 Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir is fresh, juicy and texturally detailed, with chalky, supple tannins that fill the mouth and saline acidity that courses through the layers of floral, red-berry fruit. There is real drive and elegance here. It’s a superb wine, as all of these Valli Pinots tend to be\" Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Evident whole-bunch spice complexity here with grainy, tight tannins, refreshing acidity and a deep but restrained palate of floral-infused black fruit. Mid-weight, concentrated but serious and currently quite austere, there is a mineral core to the sinewy palate which needs time to resolve. Concentrated and ripe without being boisterous. Restrained power with good ageing potential\" Stephen Wong, The Real Review, Nov 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Lovely, bright fruit with black cherries, strawberries and orange peel as well as hints of peaches. Medium-bodied, this has firm tannins that are caressing and delicious. Fluid and attractive at the end.
