Last night I cracked a 2012 Holyman Project X Pinot Noir from Tasmania and it was rocking. Impeccably ripe black cherry fruits, dusted with icing sugar and a resonating layered finish. Incredible mouth perfume and peacocks tail. Truly a great Aussie Pinot Noir.
I was moved to send the winemaker Jo Holyman a text to congratulate him. It went something like this ‘Just opened a bottle of 2012 Project X…just a beautiful wine, wonderful mouth perfume and persistence. Brilliant stiff Jo’
To which he replied ‘I am happy that you get stiff Kent’.
Bloody predictive texting. Blood good wine.
