Shaw & Smith Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2021 12.5% 6x75cl

"95 points. Arrives as a fully fledged pinot noir, complex and intriguing. Starts with a wealth of dark fruits, forest floor, bracken, earthy notes and woodsy spice, before launching into a sweeping, textural palate, glossy and even. Oak adds some extra creamy, spicy complexity and, boy, it runs long.The light colour belies the intensity of this wine."(James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

Red fruit aromas in the red cherry and redcurrant spectrum carry through onto the palate. A medium bodied style, with some savoury elements, and a firm, grippy finish, with tautness and strictness that bodes well for cellaring. It is vibrant and more opulent than other years.
