September 2004, Australian Gourmet Traveller WINE

By Bob Campbell MW

2002 Two Paddocks The Last Chance Pinot Noir

Intensely fruity pinot noir with dense black cherry, floral, farmyard and ripe plum flavours, plus a seasoning of dried herbs. Rich and silken wine with a long finish and a firm tannic backbone that hints at cellaring potential.

2002 Two Paddocks First Paddock Pinot Noir

Deeply coloured pinot noir with an almost jammy intensity and a strong tannic backbone that promotes longevity at a cost to early drinkability (tasted in late 2003). Leaner and firmer than the more opulent The Last Chance.
