Scotchman's Hill 2011 Ben O'Donoghue Pinot Gris

Variety: Pinot Gris
Region: Port Phillip, Mornington Peninsula
Vintage: 2011
Colour: Steel grey/lime/green
Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Strong aromas of furry peach skins and ripe apricot
Flavour: Pear flavoured according to the nose with good mineral ending which is unusual for an Australian wine. Nice and even, this is medium bodied held together nicely with a long finish.
Points: 86 (4+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: Part of the Pinot Gris collection I bought earlier this year. This is probably the pick of the bunch from a region which I find to be generally over-rated. $14.85 ~296 Kc.
