Moss Wood 2024 Autrement Pinot Noir – Marc Malouf, Wine Worth Writing About
Moody ruby with a charming nose of cherry blossom, fig leaf, cinnamon, strawberry leaning red berries, watermelon, beetroot powder, blood orange, a touch of fern, white pepper and sweet, freshly turned soil.
Classical!
In the mouth it’s medium bodied, but full of flavour and blooms with a core of sweet and concentrated red berries, backed by orange, hints of honeyed olive, lemon zest, thyme and toasted vanilla-rich oak. Bright acidity makes it shine, while a lacquer of tightly packed and firm tannins brings tension and a tight structure.
This is more of a classic Aussie Pinot, and it’s very charming, elegant and delicious. It ends long, finishing on strawberries, a whisper of underbrush and a hint of yoghurt.
