Mt Difficulty Long Gully Pinot Noir 2005
Geoff Kelly tasted a number of Mt Difficulty Pinots amongst hundreds of others at January's 2007 Pinot Conference in Wellington. This is what he had to say about the 2005 Mt Difficulty Single Vineyard Long Gully Pinot Noir:
“Ruby, some carmine and velvet…Bouquet on this Otago wine shows the same wonderful black cherry fruit as several of the others, but the floral component at this stage is a little more entangled in new oak…On palate the wine shows great fruit, good balance, more oaked than some top wines, but still pretty well balanced, fresh, with a great aftertaste. Cellar 5-12 years.” 18.5/20 - 5 stars View Mt Difficulty Long Gully Pinot Noir 2005
