Quartz Reef Bendigo Estate Single Ferment Pinot Noir 2019

Bewertungen

Cameron Douglas MS: 96/100.  Wonderful purity, complexity and vibrato in the bouquet with aromas of sweet ripe black cherry and Otago raspberries, a core of minerality with floral highlights, some new wood scents offering smoke and spice. Youthful, tense and poised on the palate with a core of pinosity, dark red berry fruit flavours, firm chalky tannins and plenty of acidity. Flavour mirror the bouquet leading to a lengthy, tense and complex finish. A wine for the cellar still with best drinking from late 2022 through 2030+. 21 days on skins with 20% new, 40% 1 year old, 20% 2 years old and 20% 3 years old - French oak program.

Bob Campbell, MW (The Real Review): 96/100. Single Ferment is the wine that best expresses both site and season. Richer and more intense than the regular pinot noir, with a complex mix of dark cherry, berry, floral and savoury flavours. The wine will obviously develop well with bottle age but is still quite accessible.

Gourmet Traveller Wine: 96/100 & Top New Release New Zealand Reds April / May 2021.  From a very wet season that was slightly hotter than normal. Richer and more intense than the regular pinot noir, with a complex mix of dark cherry/berry, floral and savoury flavours. Delicious now but with a promising future.

Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95/100 The 2019 Bendigo Estate Single Ferment Pinot Noir—nicknamed Black Ops—is indeed a darker shade of ruby than the regular bottling. Just the merest hint of cedar appears on the nose, accenting notes of black cherries, plums and some earthy, spicy, cola-like notes. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and bold, this expansive, generous wine is framed by silky tannins and bright acids, which prolong the mouthwatering finish. It's a terrific effort from one of the region's acknowledged masters—owner/winemaker Rudi Bauer. Drink Date: 2021-2035

Michael Cooper: 5 Sterne & Super Classic. Deep ruby, mouthfilling red, powerful but not heavy, with dense, ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing lovely concentration, good tannin backbone and obvious long-term potential. It should be a 10-year wine.

Verkostungsnotiz

Verführerische Aromen von schwarzen Beeren, Kirschen und Veilchen, Kräutern (Minze und Thymian) und Gewürzen (Five-Spice). Am Gaumen dunkle Pflaumen und feine Tannine. Extrem konzentriert mit einer beeindruckenden Struktur, lebendig und lebhaft. Ein komplexer, trockener Abgang.
