A rich and ripe impression on the nose of this estate edition, this has a violet-like floral edge, as well as forest-berry and sappy tones. The palate has rich, punchy flesh and a sense of weight, with ripe red cherries, earthy herbs and sous-bois. A bolder edition of this pinot with real weight. The acidity is salient, too. Drink over the next eight years.

Australia's most famous – and expensive – Pinot Noir estate (the 2019 Reserve will set you back about £900/bottle) was recently bought by Burgundy's Jean-Marie Fourrier, but this vintage was founder Philip Jones' last. It's a beauty: layered and complex flavours of cherry conserve, nutmeg and cinnamon, wet soil, rhubarb freshness and firm, black tea tannins.
