Despite its age, the 2013 Yering Station Reserve Pinot Noir retains a lifted floral–spice character, showing classic cool-climate Pinot Noir development. Aromas of violets, savoury spice and briary red fruits lead into a palate where cherry and plum remain central, supported by emerging earthy and subtle savoury notes that add complexity without tipping into overly tertiary territory.
The palate is silky and finely detailed, with softened yet well-structured tannins creating a layered, seamless mid-palate. A gentle slip of oak—now fully integrated—adds polish, while the wine finishes with finesse and quiet persistence.
Overall, this Pinot Noir expresses elegance and balance over power, capturing the hallmark refinement of the Yarra Valley and showing that the 2013 vintage has aged with grace and poise.
