Tasting Notes
Taylors Flint & Velvet Pinot Noir 2024 opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherries, crushed raspberries, and a delicate violet florality, underscored by a subtle earthy minerality reminiscent of damp forest floor. On the palate, this wine lives up to its evocative name — the 'flint' reveals itself as a crisp, lively acidity and a stony, mineral backbone, while the 'velvet' emerges as silky, fine-grained tannins that carry the fruit with effortless grace. Flavours of ripe strawberry, pomegranate, and a hint of dried rose petal glide across the mid-palate, supported by gentle notes of cedar and warming spice. The wine is poised and elegant, reflecting the cool-climate character of the Clare Valley with admirable precision and freshness.
