Region/G.I.: Port Phillip, Yarra Valley
Vintage: 2009
Colour: Dark cherry to brown
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: Really wet cow, lifted spices like cardamom
Flavour: Grainy, textural but the flavours themselves are rather simple. It doesn't live up to the expectations built in the nose. Some short raspberry and cherry flavours and pleasant acidity. More quaffer than fine wine.
Points: 84 (3+7+11+6+7)
Notes: Quite ok but I've enjoyed better Pinot Noir recently. Interestingly, the producer's website does not show them continuing with Pinot Noir. I guess I will find out when I visit the Yarra Valley next month.
