At 8 years old I think I have caught it at a good time while it is still relatively young.
Don’t get me wrong you can taste a delicate like maturity to the wine.
However the fruit is still bright – by bright I mean it’s still jumping with youth, clean, fresh and vibrant.
With a good whiff of purple flowers and a trace of brambles, which I find in Barolo more often than I would a Pinot Noir.
In the mouth I get red and dark cherry and plum fruit finishing a little dusty, rounding out with a savoury earthy wash followed by gentle tannins bringing the wine an almost silky conclusion.
Once again I don’t drink enough Pinot from the Mornington Peninsula; I get a surprise every time I open one.
I enjoyed this wine by itself, whilst taking pleasure in drinking and exploring this wine’s twists as it opened up.
