Foxeys Hangout 2016 Scotsworth Pinot Noir

97 POINTS - JAMES HALLIDAY

Scotsworth always shows very perfumed and primary fruit up front; violets, red berries and spice with darker fruits too, a rounder palate profile than other pinot noirs in the Foxey range and also more structural tannins lending further weight to the savoury fullness. There is an intriguing earthiness to this wine that is quite captivating. A wine that grows in the glass, it loves to get plenty of air and becomes more interesting and powerful with several years of bottle age.
