William Downie Pinot Noir Bull Swamp 2023
Red
Gippsland, Australia
8.0
WineSaint
Musk and blood orange lead, followed by cranberry and smoky mineral notes that speak directly to volcanic soils. The texture shows real promise. Dense yet refined tannins carry considerable weight through a long finish. Still tightly wound and needs proper cellaring to unlock its full potential. Drink 2028-2033.
