Applecross Lance Vineyard Close Planted Pinot Noir 2024
DOZEN: $1,026.00 or $85.50 each
The 2024 Lance Close Planted Pinot Noir hails from the Lance vineyard in St. Andrews in the Yarra Valley. MV6 clone was closely planted to 8,300 vines per hectare in 1989. On the nose, the oak is more evident here than in the Applecross Pinot Noir from the same vintage, yet the fruit here wears it with ease, rising up above it on the palate. Profoundly pretty, pure and elegant, this is a wine of ethereal grace and yet power. I like it so much, for different reasons than the Applecross-a wine for each mood. This is awesome.

That's a different animal. The seductive and alluring aromas of the first are here too, in a different guise. But that sensation carries across the even, cool, pleasantly sappy frame. It's nicely formed, pretty, seductive and expertly manicured. It wont hit you right out of the gate, it needs a little air, some patience, a big glass or some time in the cellar to unfurl and let some of that old vine depth flow freely. When it does it should be spot on the money. This is exciting. ROSCOE
