(Refined) Guide

Tasting: Not Blind

What I’m tasting: Fresh cherry redcurrant, sweet spice and fine suede tannin

What I’m thinking and feeling: At first I thought it was quite simple. But as it sits in the glass and you look a bit below the surface of sweet fruit you see quite a well balanced and interesting Pinot Noir.

Where we bought it: My Cellars

Price: $40

Region: VIC - Mornington Peninsula

Wine(refined) Value Rating :

Exceptional value, we’ve bought some already Stupid value, get on it

Wine(refined) Quality Rating :

Really, Very, Extremely Good – Wherever I might be drinking this wine, chances are I’m very happy. Ticks all of the boxes, and I’m really hoping that others don’t notice how good it is, so that I get another glass (or two). (17-18/20)
