Only one wine of any note this week, the 02 Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir
Nose initially raspberry, smallgoods and spice. Moves about a bit and the worm night gives it a bit of voatility. Palate is initially lifted spiced raspberry and strawberry, and over time shows some liqueured blackcurrant, again with a nice dose of spice and a wee bit of coffee oak showed after the bottle was open a while. Acidic, but clean. Let down a little by a slightly chalky chewy finish, but nice wine. Like to try this again when the weather is cooler.
Pika, pretty much the smell when you walk into a deli or butcher that makes a lot of their own sausages, salamis and cured meats. A spicy meats kind of thing.
Wizz..try another..just chill it..pinots make a great summer red here..though i would throw all reds in the fridge for 1/2 hour at least before serving with our hot weather of late.
Cheers
Paul
