Mt Difficulty Long Gully Pinot Noir 2007
Sneak Preview – Release date 1 February
“Good pinot noir ruby, minutely the deepest of the three Mt Difficulty pinot noirs. Once breathed, telling these three wines apart, for example identifying them correctly in repeated triangular tests, would be hard. I think this is fractionally the most aromatic of the three, the same faint shadow of fine syrah as in the standard wine. Likewise on the stunning black cherry palate, it is a little firmer and crisper than the other two, and is suited to the longest cellaring of the three. It is not quite as floral, supple and ample as the Pipeclay. Buy as many of these three exemplary Otago pinots as you can afford. Cellar 5 – 12 years.“ Geoff Kelly 11/08 View Mt Difficulty Long Gully Pinot Noir 2007
