Tasting notes
Two Paddocks' 2017 The Fusilier Pinot Noir comes from the estate's warmest vineyard, next to Felton Road in the Bannockburn subregion. It's the most structured and tannic of the offerings, with dark fruit, earthy nuances, a stolid, muscular feel in the mouth and firm (but ripe) tannins on the finish. Hints of hickory smoke join stemmy notes on the nose, while plummy fruit joins with hints of dark chocolate on the palate and lingers on the finish.

75% whole bunch. Released in October 2018. Pale ruby-purple. Stem-herb, some spice, smoke and stones. Red cherry beneath. Crisp acidity, red cherry and spice, with just-resolving, cranberry-like tannins. Quite long and scented finish. (TJ)
