About This Wine
The 2019 Lily pinot noir is wine with a generous fruit weight and flavour. Again the grapes were picked across the season, allowing different blocks to get to optimal ripeness. Drinking well young but like all our pinot noirs will develop beautifully with time. A great 2019 vintage.
"This is an interesting wine. It’s robust in varietal terms, a bit backward, a bit reductive, a bit “in waiting”. I’ve noticed a number of notable Australian Pinot Noirs heading towards a more backward (i.e. less fruit-forward) style in recent years, which may be deliberate or may be vintage condition related, I’m not sure. This is a wine of excellent, steady complexity; it’s a firm-handed wine, muscular pretty much as if it knows a bit about physical education itself. It shows some warmth but it’s not at the expense of flavour; there’s no thinning here, the savoury-spice notes run through the tannin, as do macerated cherry characters. Indeed the tannin here is arguably the wine’s strongest feature; a good thing given that this wine won’t make its main drinking run for a while yet."
