2018 Picardy Tête de Cuvée – Special Release
Much has been said about this vintage release, and quite rightly so. This wine is a new hightide mark for a winery that has been expanding its reign over the variety in Western Australia for many years.
This 2018 vintage is a testament to the exploration of clones in the vineyard and a long-held obsession for red Burgundy, Red cherry, strawberry, black olive, crushed coffee grounds and red apple skins are the first scratch of the surface here; the palate confirms all of these aromas and breathes into them real life.
As is usual for this wine, it really starts to come into its own with air and breathing; the flavours spreading over the back palate like a picnic rug over grass. Having looked at this wine many times over the past 12 months, it has entered a very quiet phase which it will likely have emerged from in time for release, further confirming the decision to hold it back an additional year.
This is, without doubt, the greatest Pinot Noir released by Picardy to date, and with the expectation that 2019, and 2020 will yield wines of equal quality (albeit different attributes), we have officially entered a great period in the history of the house.
En guard.
