Darker and richer than the regular 2016 bottling, the 2016 Bendigo Estate Single Ferment Pinot Noir reveals aromas of cola, plum, spice and cedar. It's full-bodied but lacks the plushness of the 2015, perhaps because of its age, perhaps because the vintage just didn't offer the same level of ripeness. It's still an excellent Pinot Noir, with a decade ahead of it.
