Tried this Pinot Noir from Victoria, Australia. Light body and improved a lot after an hour of decanting.
2004 Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir $115.00 each (mine is from Wxtson's wine cellar)
A little unpolished, but a very impressively fruited and structured pinot with a floral and slightly meaty
bouquet that slowly unfolds aromas of red cherries, plums and berries. Sumptuous and very
approachable, the palate is heavily laden with ripe cherry and plum flavours supported by a firm but finegrained
chalky backbone. A powerful and concentrated wine in the traditional spicy and complex Bass
Phillip style. 18.6 / 95 points, drink 2009-2012+". Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.
Quote from Esquire:
每一顆珍珠
由Philip Jonesin創立於1979年的Bass Philip,刻意壓縮產量,有時甚至低至每畝一噸的葡萄收成,因此每年產量只有數百箱,個別年份的珍藏系列就只得那麼的一桶,同時有別於慣見的澳洲釀酒文化,為了使出品盡情展現她的風土,包括堅持不灌溉、全部以人手採收、以有機種植的方法及避免使用殺蟲劑等,讓每顆葡萄仿如天然珍珠般珍貴,蘊藏等待綻放的美麗天資,正如特地來港講解酒釀的Bass Philip 莊主Mr. Phillip Jones所言:「酒釀如果被抽取了果香及丹寧,留下的便只是礦物了」,由此可見這品牌有多重視風土。而在釀酒過程中不使用任何添加劑,發酵時採用天然酵母以及裝瓶時不經過濾(雖然這樣造成的酒釀,被笑為Cloudy Wine),創造舉世知名的Pinot Noir品牌。
Sorry my friend. You'll be lucky to get a bottle of Bass premium @ AUD115.
Even the Estate Label is well over HKD 400.
Pray tell which Wxt*** you get it from.
