FOOD MATCHING NOTE:

To counter those tannins you need red meat, and a beef brisket would work nicely. 

TASTING NOTE:

As ever, painfully low yields make the Judd Pinot Noir an extremely concentrated wine. Indeed this feels like a classic Mornington Pinot, the sappy strawberry fruit lifted up by background vanillan oak sweetness. It’s a masculine Pinot this year, the open flavours through the mid palate brought back in by a finish with low acidity but with pronounced tannins and drive. A powerful Judd release, with high potential for cellaring joy.
