Wantirna Estate Lily Pinot Noir 2004 Sunday, Sep 30 2007
Tasting Notes and Australia and Yarra Valley and Variety and Red and pinot noir
The nose of this wine is full of Maraschino cherry. The palate starts off with a mix of sweet red cherry and moves into some dark berries and finishes with a smoky, bacon like flavour. The texture is lovely and the length pretty good. I really like the way the flavour is held in check with acid but that it still has a nice silky texture. I also like the Leunig cartoon image on the label. I was concerned to see that it was sealed with a standard cork but it was in good condition and the wine I drank gave no indication of cork problems.

Had their 04 Cabernet at the Yarra Valley Wine program recently - absolute stunner. balance and length and elegance. It was the clear standout of the session for mine, with that older vine effortlessness.

Such a lovely range of wines - true Yarra classics.
