Bass Phillip Pinot Noir Premium West Gippsland 1999
Red
Gippsland, Australia
7.5
WineSaint
Dark cherry and plum fruit shows impressive concentration, wrapped in Chinese five-spice and creamy vanilla oak. The palate balances voluptuous richness with firm tannic grip. Serious structure that needs time. This cool-climate West Gippsland Pinot typically shuts down early, demanding 8-12 years to integrate and reveal its potential.
