Tasting Notes - Kelvedon Estate Pinot Noir 2003

Sourced from 7 year old vines on Tassie's East Coast and made by Julian Alcorso (previously Morilla?).

Anyway...the wine. Classic brutish Tassie style on the nose; very ripe hot cherry, slightly pongy, and lacking some finesse. Similar to taste; ripe, friut feels pushed. Some heat and a tannic underlay. Varietal fruit doesn't really express itself. Better options at the $30 level.
