At a fine stage of development, Tawse's 2021 Quarry Road pinot from the cool and windy vineyard of the same name in the Vinemount Ridge sub-appellation on top of the Escarpment, delivers ample floral perfume, lifted and fragrant, with nicely enmeshed old wood spice notes and bright, still-fresh red berry-cherry fruit. The palate has lovely texture silky-firm, also succulent and juicy, saliva-inducing in the best way, with impressive flavour density and length on such a refined and elegant frame. In the world of pinot, this has to be counted among the sharp values. Drink or hold another 5-7 years for a fully mature experience. Tasted October 2024. Score - 93.
