Pooley Cooinda Vale Pinot Noir 2021

Lighter and more ethereal than Butchers. Very pretty aromatics of Asian spices, raspberry, aniseed, plum and cherry. Compact, certainly less round than the other Pinots, sleeker and slightly coiled. Complex web of red and black fruits, woodland notes, autumn leaves, and cigar box. Terrific energy, high pitched to match the high tones of flavour. Width in the mouth, hinting at some whole bunch inclusion – I’m guessing 20 per cent. Tannins are present throughout the course of the entire wine, slippery upon entry, firming up to velvet along the finish. Incredible Australian Pinot Noir, a real statement of style and intent from Pooley. One of the best. Waters Wine Co
