Dalrymple 2015 had over the last couple of nights is a standout from previous few vintages, which have all been very good.
Lots of interest : stemmy, sweet fruit, good length, some savoury notes. Delicious and great value at $25.95 2015 Dalrymple Pinot Noir, Tasmania - myCellars.com.au

one of the lads brewing a little cider down at Punt last week had the bottle capping machine go whack on his hand. a bit of plaster, a bit of rest and a lot of own made pinot for anaesthesia should do the trick. accidents do happen.

Is this an exception, a Pinot where you get more than you pay for?

Will be trying the one I paid $23 for tonight and report back!

 

[TheRealTMA]

Just make sure the winemaker's ferryman isn't called Charon or Kharon!

Come to think of it in regards to good Pinot, maybe that should be the name!

Had the Punt Road and Bream Creek on the weekend, Bream Creek was the preferred bottle but then again the Bream
Creek had a 3 years head start. Luckily I've still got a few Winestar gift cards and they'll be put to good use.
