The 2023 vintage release or Riposte Wines \’The Dagger\’ Pinot Noir is a quintessentially youthful, vibrant Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir. With a bouquet of seductive black cherry overlaid with exotic spices leads to a palate of supple fresh berries, bright acidity and lingering fine grained tannin. \”Pristine and elegantly expressed, the inviting bouquet shows red cherry, strawberry and fragrant spice aromas with a delicate floral overtone. Its equally appealing in the mouth with finely flowing mouthfeel backed by beautifully infused tannins, finishing long and pleasingly dry. At its best: now to 2030.\”93 Points – Sam King, Wine Orbit \”Sourced from the Gumeracha and Lobethal districts, this pours without pretension, light ruby in the glass, cherry fruit and tree-wood fragrance to get you interested. Then pure and straight Pinot flavour profiling with a little anise to add some spice. Bright and perky in the finish, with enough lingering Pinot forest-like earthiness to convince you its the real deal, even in its lite styling.Very drink-easy.\”92 Points – Tony Love 91 Points – Ken Gargett 90 Points – The Wine Front
