92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2021 Yarra Junction Pinot Noir is very light in color and low in alcohol too (11%). On the nose, you get cherries, tobacco, garden mint, star anise, fennel seeds and blood plum along with enoki, pastrami and...

96 points Decanter"Blend dominated by Touriga Franca (41%) and Touriga Nacional (37%). Mainly picked eight days after the mid-September rain: initially deep, ripe and dense on the nose, opening up to reveal a scented berry fruit bouquet. Lovely plum and...

98 points James SucklingThis is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao...

91 points Wine Spectator"Plump and open, offering green plum, nectarine and coconut notes, with a round, easy feel through the plantain-tinged finish. Tasted non-blind." 91 points FalstaffStrong yellow-green, water edge. Dried apricots, fine yellow...

94 points James Suckling"Brambleberries, blueberries, crushed stones, orange zest, pink peppercorns and dried roses on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, very fine tannins. Layered, textured and mineral with a vibrant, wild finish...

90 points Stephen Tanzer"Pale yellow-gold. Reticent nose hints at clove, smoked meat and honey. Sweet and glyceral but given life by firm acidity. Youthfully closed but the corpulent yellow fruit and spice flavors are already obvious. Denser, deeper and...

92 points Wine & Spirits"Light in body and nearly stabbing in acidity, this is dominated by marine flavors that bring to mind smoked oysters in their depth, richness and complexity. The acidity seems to accelerate through the wine, stirring up notes...

Jancis Robinson"Picked at different ripeness levels – some malo and some not. A cocktail!Pale, lively and so different! Bone dry with great tension. A bit of skin contact? But not excessively so. Really vital and energising. VGV (*very good...
