Variety: Pinot Noir
Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Vintage: 2013
Alcohol: 14.0%
Colour: Purple-red
Closure: Screwcap
Bouquet: Some musty, barnyard undertones that is balanced by raspberry aromas
Flavour: A little tarry with nice tannin in the mid-palate. In a heavy style with dense mulberry and raspberry flavours. Blind tasting I would not guess this to be Pinot. Nice length.
Points: 85 (3+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: I enjoyed this slightly chilled given the heat here. It was not recognisable as a Pinot but was enjoyable thanks to its tarry features and length. From a region known for big reds. $16.80~300Kc.
