Bump! Bump! Bump! Back to earth with a bump...although this may have been badly stored somewhere..has that feel and taste...here we go...
Felton Road, Pinot Noir 2002
Central Otago, New Zeeland
What did I expect..well..a soft, riper wine than the previous ones...some cherries maybe...probably at it's peak..with a touch of age..a serious contender for wine of the 6.
What I got was..burnt, meaty aroma...no Pinot smell..no attractive sweetness..just a dry winey smell..on the palate..about the same..some tannins..and the acidity was left on it's own..cos there is no fruit..a little medicinal...a one-off bad bottle?..one can only hope so.
Points 13.5
Best part of the evening were the duck liver and mushrooms....
