Hoddles Creek, PSB Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, 2022
The PSB is only released by Franco in top vintages – the last was 2018. From a block next to the 1er Pinot but very close planted – so fewer, smaller bunches and a lower yield per vine. Unlike the 1er, no whole bunches; all are destemmed and fermented in large oak barrels. Bold and generous on the nose; deep colour and intense flavours with subtle tannins. This will keep well. Late 2024-2029
“It’s a darker, more earthy and spicy wine than the 1er, more structure with a distinctly earthy ‘mineral’ character, some pomegranate and a gently sappy side, almost steely and bloody, blood plum and cherry. There’s a dried rose perfume in the mix too. Tannin is graphite and ferrous, and the finish is long, bright and spicy, with some orange peel bitterness. It’s concentrated and powerful, yet still stays frisky and fresh. It’s distinctive and very good. Serious stuff. 95/100. 2024-2035”, Gary Walsh; The Wine Front, October 2023
