Bass Phillip Pinot Noir Reserve 2019

Perfumed and seductive, with raspberry liqueur, star anise and crushed violets lifting from the glass. The texture is the star here. Silky and mouth-coating, with waves of black cherry, five-spice and rose petal that build and build. Fine-grained tannins provide just enough grip to frame the fruit without intruding. A brilliant expression of cool-climate pinot that should evolve gracefully over the next decade-plus.
