“Excellent. Better again with a couple of years under its belt” 94 Points | Gary Walsh | Wine Front – Tapanappa ‘DEFINITUS’ 2022 Pinot Noir

Review Date: Sep 2025

Planted in 2003 to clones 115 and 777. The block is called Definitus, which is certainly a more lively name than, say, Block 28. It’s screwcap sealed.

Strawberry, dried herb and flowers, mint, cedar and spice. It’s medium-bodied, lightly poached red fruits, a bit of a porcini umami thing, a firmness to some chamois-like tannin, a little blood orange tang, crisp acidity, with a steely ‘mineral’ sort of finish offering very good length. Excellent. Better again with a couple of years under its belt. Reviewed August 2025.
