Critics Ratings
'Produced from an old BK 5 Clone, the light yet brightly coloured 1986 has held up beautifully and a fine example of mature pinot noir. Fine, delicate fruit is underscored by a gamey, savoury edge and fresh structure. Fresh and layered, the red berries dance on the palate to an earthy, graceful and well-balanced finish. Peter Finlayson was Diners Club Winemaker of the Year Awarded for the Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir 1986. Delicious at this mature stage, it will keep for another decade.' - Roland Peens 94/100, (July 2025)
