  This is my first 1er wine from hoddles creek I have tried as I readreviews and the hype, buying up and giving the recommended time. Unfortunately I am a bit underwhelmed. It is okay - dark red fruits, with a touch of stewed over ripeness. Not a great deal of complexity. Drinking at its best now, acid just present to carry it through. Giving its price point and hype I was expecting more.

  Sour Cherries and some stalks on the nose, fruit is lovely starts red then fades into blue finishing with a lovely lick of acid - really classy and bang in it's window though definitely no rush

  Really nice Pinot. One of those producers trying to make a good Pinot, and not a Burgundy. Succeeded well, this is a beautiful fruit-forward wine displaying brilliant clarity, stacks of bright red cherries and rounded tannins. Won't make old bones, but doesn't need to. Well done!!

  Wow. A military precision 95/100 (4.2/5.0) from me. 1er stands for Premier and denotes the reserve level of wines for this multi award winning Yarra Valley winery. Gary Walsh at Winefront gave this Pinot Noir a deserved 95.
  
  On the nose, intense cherries, mulberries and a touch of white pepper. The palate is super smooth and so well put together, as fine cherries, mulberries, earth and a touch of spice flow seamlessly through the mouth. Military precision here. It's well worth a try if you enjoy your Pinot Noir.
