Savaterre Reserve Pinot Noir 2022
DOZEN: $1,944.00 or $162.00 each
Very lifted and perfumed, with notes of dark cherries, dried herbs, tobacco and truffles. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and integrated tannins, giving nots of potporri, orange rind and cedar. A true pinot noir with all the character that people want from the top pinots around the world. Excellent. (97) JAMES SUCKLING
From a long cool vintage, and Keppell Smith says 'There's bugger all of it'. The wine will be labelled 'Reserve' only when the year is good enough...
Aromatic, spicy, lots of savoury complexity here and autumnal character aplenty, pencil/cedar oak, flickers of liquorice root emerge with air. Mix of red cherry and red fruits, an earthy leaf litter character, light, fresh, gently sappy, tannins are subtle and buried in the wine, some blood orange in the mix. Excellent length. Such character. I'd say it's the best Pinot Noir they've released to date. (96) GARY WALSH, The Winefront
