A single-site pinot noir from Swansea on Tasmania's East Coast from winemaker Peter Caldwell. Perhaps not as nervy as his Pipers River wines, but the Swansea vineyard delivers a sense of clarity and detail in its form with pristine red cherry and redcurrant fruits, hints of fine spice, Chinese roast duck, shiitake broth, a light wash of amaro herbs and purple floral notes. Very pretty on the nose, perhaps blossom mixed with some iodine-like coastal influence, finishing complex, gamey and long.

The Dalrymple Single Site Swansea Pinot Noir is a newbie for me and I like what I see. Part of the Single Site range, the poise and drive are what I'm here for. Soft spices have a ripple effect through the mouth. Earthy and undergrowth things early before it gets serious with dark fruit, plums and dark chocolate stepping into the frame. Fruit bun spices build with time. There is some warmth but it's comforting rather than hot. Above all, it's dangerously enjoyable. Drink to five years+

A cool, coastal source. Whole bunch spike and its inference of dill, lime pickle and Indian spice kick off. Red cherry and a medicinal curb of Chinotto. The acidity is a little shrill, although the mid-weighted palate is nicely packed, delivering flavor and precision. The end, a tangy acid linger. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Good medium-deep colour with purple tints and a dusty/herby whole-bunch driven bouquet with Campari, raspberry and dark-cherry underneath. Superripe sweet fruit in the core, almost too much of a good thing, followed by robust tannins and a hint of alcohol heat. A full-throttle pinot noir.
