Tolpuddle, in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, is an amazing vineyard with plenty of lineage.

It's an amalgam of clones – 777, 667, Abel, Pommard, MV6 and some that winemaker Adam Wadewitz snaffled from Best's Great Western – all playing their part in the final blend. Vibrant dark cherry, red berry and raspberry fruit tones mesh with hints of exotic spice, a whiff of negroni, juniper, wild strawberry, almond paste, integrated vanillin oak, meadow flowers and crushed stone. Everything plays at concert pitch, with complex whole bunch (50%) notes, the gentle tension of ground-riverstone tannins and a fine, mineral line as the wine slowly trails away.

Chalk dust and fennel seed. Nutmeg grated into white sauce, ground ginger, and the luxuriousness of triple-cream brie. The acidity dances with light, agile feet across the palate, while new oak is so artfully integrated you find yourself searching for the seams it’s been woven into. This is perhaps the most dialled-back expression of oak on the nose—not from lesser use, but from the way it has been entirely absorbed by the fruit and the wine’s palpable energy. Buoyant and spritely, its mealy mid-palate creaminess is swiftly chased by almond skin and a flicker of sea-flake salinity. A triumphant vintage of chardonnay, and a testament to the vineyard’s impeccable quality—one that many fortunate visitors can now witness firsthand.

D. would be, as the style of the vintage seems almost perfectly adapted to this cuvée. Four years later, we have the answer, and the wine is brilliant. Disgorged in 2022, it's more reserved out of the gates than the dramatic Grande Année was on release, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, orange peel, freshly baked bread, subtle hints of fino sherry, wet stones and macadamia nut. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a deep core of fruit that's animated by racy acids and a refined pinpoint mousse, concluding with a bone-dry finish. Extremely harmonious and full of youthful energy, it's the finest R. D. of the decade and one that will richly reward a bit of additional age on cork.

Aromatically, it opens to notes of toasted almond, preserved Meyer lemon, brothy saline, and vibrant fresh fruit. Displaying tension and grace, it has the richness of Bollinger but is more upright, with an electric mineral energy that courses through the finish, which lasts for days. Mouthwatering and long, it’s a stunner. It needs more time to harmonize all its components, but this is a wine to cellar for the ages, and I think this is going to be a vintage of RD we talk about for a very, very long time.

Some producers have described the season as warm, while the Decades team (Brad Rogers and Steve Flamsteed) describe the season as mild and long. The nose leads with plush red fruit, blood plum and raspberry, cherry pip and tapenade. In the mouth, the tannins are silky and spacious; they create seamless flow across the palate and shape the way the fruit performs. The acidity, typically high in Tasmania, feels juicy and integrated. This is a very impressive second release and, perhaps more importantly, a very impressive Pinot Noir. I like it so much and look forward to seeing how this will evolve over the years ahead. The 40% whole-bunch aspect of this wine feels invisible until the very last; a lingering sense of chinotto, licorice and blood orange through the finish quietly encouraged me to check the production details. This is one of the few wines I have tasted in recent times that comprises a good proportion of whole bunches but doesn't appear to. And this is the best amount of whole bunches, if you ask me. It is, when used sensitively, a tool that opens up the palate, adds to textural and flavor complexity and brings a sense of capaciousness to the wine.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"A supple and spiced pinot noir from Tea Tree in the Coal River Valley, on black cracking clay over a calcareous Triassic sandstone. Dark cherry, wild strawberry and dark plum mesh seamlessly with underlying hints of amaro herbs, medina spice, Campari, sandalwood, pomegranate, raspberry coulis and turned earth and leaves. There's a beautiful flow and presence to this wine, the ripe fruit travelling with grace and fine detail. A flair of powdery, silty tannins provides support and a bright, minerally cadence drives the wine forward. The dance between bunchy nuance and fruit purity is bang on here as the wine finishes complex, long and enduring.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"This is clearly the Coal River Valley but with utter sophistication and it’s giving Tassie a whole new groove.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Shanteh Wale, Wine Pilot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50169031557360,"sku":"210000043917","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4824\/9840\/files\/DecadesPinotNoir.png?v=1785492209"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4824\/9840\/collections\/christine-isakzhanova-H3QLXBmmgtA-unsplash.jpg?v=1743991708","url":"https:\/\/craftwinestore.com.au\/collections\/new-arrivals.oembed?page=2","provider":"Craft Wine Store Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
