  Lovely bouquet. Carries over to the palate. My 5th bottle. Bought on three different occasions. This last bottle had a clear eucalyptus note. Giaconda is a great producer. The shiraz is very good too. But the 19 estate pinot is my idea of a hallmark pinot. With an address. Beechworth rocks.

  Love this. A lovely ruby crystal clear appearance. Very Victorian pinot nose, reminiscent of a classic mornington peninsula pinot. There is earthiness, cherry red fruits, some orange zest as described by the Halliday review. Wonderful mouthfeel, savoury , juicy, a little bit crunchy. Dark berry fruit, some restrained forest floor, smooth tannin, very good length. Drinking well but looking forward to watching it develop!

  This is fucking awesome. Oaky cherries, earthy, black pepper and a very pleasant, round long taste.

  I've always been a fan of Giaconda, but their Pinot is the most inconsistent label in the portfolio. It really leans on the vintage conditions and can sway from being super elegant to a fruit bomb. The 2019 definitely led to early ripening and it seemed like the vignerons waited a bit too long to pick the grapes. Moderate ruby in the glass. Fruit ripeness explodes right off the bat - sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blueberry, blackberry. Borderline Shiraz nose to this if I dare say haha! The palate is big for a Pinot, but smooth and dangerously easy-drinking. Moderate acidity and finish. A big Pinot that will sell easily, but not something to enjoy on the long run.
