Score 17/20 · Drink 2004-2009, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2004
Looks a bit old – evolved garnet. Smells mushroomy and rather attractive. Some sweetness and violet character with a little bit of coffee bean character. Definitely trying to be a DRC, or is it Dujac! Too tough on the end though – a heavy hand. And could do with a little more fruit in the middle. But one of the most interesting wines in this flight without a doubt. (JR)

About the producer
Bass Phillip
Bass Phillip has been quietly making world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Leongatha, South Gippsland, since the 1990s. The estate’s wines were long sold almost exclusively in Australia, meaning that the producer remains relatively little-known beyond its native shores.
