2002 Humbug Reach Pinot Noir – 13.5% - Tamar River, Tasmania
A very feminine wine. Oodles of cinnamon with rose petals, plum and ripe cherries. The front palate lacks intensity and focus but it builds elegantly to a broad, soft and fine middle and back palate of excellent balance. Sappy nuances are revealed on the back palate as fine, slightly chalky tannins harmoniously bring the wine to its end. Delicate and lovely. Very easy to drink. 17.4/20. $40.
