The 2020 Pinot Noir Bendigo Vineyard is rich, spicy and powerful, and yet it is a fragrant wine, offering back cherry, plum, spice and attractive lifted floral and herbal notes in a concentrated yet firm expression. The Bendigo subregion is often described as imparting a muscular frame, and here that is in full force, with a firm line of acid backing it up. You could approach it now, as the tannins are resolved and the fragrance is appealing, but give this robust wine time to soften. Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
