Ninth Island Pinot Noir 2007 Monday, Apr 28 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Tasmania and Variety and Red and pinot noir
Good wine this and probably the best Ninth Island I can remember tasting - it has personality and vigour.
Intriguing and challenging with dark cherry, raspberry, spice, Irish Moss (if you remember either the lozenge or the syrup) and a little smoke. On the palate firm and muscular with quite chunky grippy tannins and some tangy acid. It has savoury flavours of peat, undergrowth, black cherry and dried herbs. It’s complex and engaging - an earthy wine with an abundance of personality that finishes with bright acid and decent length of flavour. A winner at this price point.
