Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir 2002

Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir 2002 (18.5-/20), at 14.5% alc, fruit from the Long Gully, Mansons Farm, Target Gully and Pipeclay Terrace vineyards, a very small portion whole bunch, 75% wild yeast fermentation, aged 11 months in barrel. Deep, even, garnet red in colour, this was very full and soft on bouquet. Lovely ripe red berry and plum aromas, still fresh, yet with excellent secondary, savoury spice and cedar elements and a touch of port! On palate, full, ripe with dark berry and savoury flavours, quite complex and with real interest, becoming integrated and mellow. This is drinking well now and should do so for another 2-4 years. 2002 was an excellent year with fully ripened fruit of low yields.
