{"product_id":"2024-sailor-seeks-horse-pinot-noir","title":"2024 Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe’ve followed Paul and Gilli Lipscombe's wines since the early days, and while their Huon Valley Pinot is always a highlight of the Tassie calendar, the 2024 vintage is a particularly gripping release. It was a proper \"stressful\" year in the south - warm and exceptionally dry - which pushed yields down to a tiny two tonnes per hectare. That struggle has translated into a wine with serious presence and a deeper, more structural \"vibe\" than the ethereal 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it’s plush but carries a distinctive sappy, autumnal edge. Think dark cherry and high-toned spice rather than just simple primary fruit. Tasting with Pul, he was surprised how plush this vintage is on release, and we both agreed it will be very popular with long time fans of this label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a weight and \"chalkiness\" to the tannin here that feels very well settled and sure of itself. It’s a concentrated Pinot that proves why Sailor Seeks Horse remains at the absolute top of the tree for detailed, site-driven Tasmanian wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The wine is ethereal and fine, floral, rocky and mineral. This aligns with the personality of the Chardonnay and the reason why this sandstone-laden site is so special. The flavor is intense but light, and this is a great thing... I love the delicacy and poise of this wine. The wines from this producer and vineyard come warmly recommended.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bright red cherries and raspberries, a pop of pomegranate too. Some dried rose buds and Moroccan spices sprinkled about. A baseline of autumnal leaves crunched underfoot. It’s supple and sinewy, with the deftest touch of sappy grip anchoring it all.
