2010 Bass Phillip Crown Prince Pinot Noir

The Crown Prince is considered the entry level wine to the Bass Phillip range, however the 2010 is punching well above its weight with a funky burgundian like nose of dusty cherry and savoury plum fruits. The palate is textural yet restrained, building slowly across the journey. There is stemmy dark fruits that get a spicy lift and drying tannin influence almost simultaneously that drives focus and depth on the finish.

A great wine that i enjoyed just as much as the much more expensive premium release for 2010.
