William Downie, Bull Swamp 2023 South Africa Intense on the nose andPlace: Gippsland, Australia Grape: Pinot Noir Vibe: Very, Very Good A bit more meat on the bones with the Bull Swamp bottling, but in the most forgiving way possible. Still graceful. If Camp Hill was the more floral, free flowing iteration, then Bull Swamp is it's yang. Darker fruited and almost peppery, there's depth and a brooding complexity that will demand some patience. ABV: 13. 5%
