Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2004

“Impressive colour! Mid ruby. Explosively aromatic bouquet. Herbs and still some structure. Is there a better 2004 Pinot anywhere?! Sinewy. Just a hint of strawberry. But great life and spice. Still lots of fine tannin.”

“Curly Flat pinot hits the jackpot. This is beautiful. Intense, steely, ragingly perfumed, cherry-plummed and then firm and serious through the finish. There’s a deal of toasty, cedary oak, but it’s appropriate to the wealth of the wine. Structure, balance, intensity. Fantastic pinot noir.”

“Medium red colour with faint vestiges of purple. Shy, restrained aromas, but clean and plum and cherry-like. Lively fresh palate with energy and charm. Lovely balance, good spine of tannin adding structure. Delicious wine, piercing and intense, and drinking very well now.”

Curly Flat Pinot Noir represents our passion as winegrowers to faithfully capture the essence of our remarkable site coupled with the unique expression that is derived from each vintage.

Bouquet
A brooding core of plums, sour cherries and red fruits is further bolstered by aging savoury charred meat and truffle characters. This darker fruit gravity provides centre to ethereal satellites of musk, cigar box cedar and the stalk driven spice thread that radiates throughout.

Palate
The nose faithfully transcribes into a medium weight palate, billowing with silken tannins providing the right amount of give and grip, combine to build a purposed platform. Long driving acidity ultimately merges to linger with the milk chocolate and delicate kirsch liqueur finish.

Cellaring
We found the 2004 poised with power and prettiness with its race far from run.

Alcohol: 13.6%
Closure: Diam
Maturation: 22 months in 100% French oak (33% new).

How is this drinking now?
Dried red fruits shimmer through secondary spice and undergrowth. Delicate structure and length remain. Drink 2020-2023.
