Toolangi Pinot Noir 2006 Thursday, May 8 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Yarra Valley and Variety and Red and pinot noir
I often like saying “Toolangi” in a baritone African Chief style voice before tasting a glass. It’s nearly as enjoyable as the wine, but not quite.
It offers up a gentle classic Yarra Pinot aromatic of red cherry, strawberry, spice and a bit of leaf mulch that leads into a light to medium bodied palate. The flavour is good with sweet red fruit and spice being the major players, accompanied by light dry tannins and clean soft acidity. It all flows along very nicely, is balanced and long, and drinks a treat from beginning to end. If you’re out shopping for good Pinot under $25 then I’d pop this near the top of the list.
