Port Phillip Estate Pinot Noir 2004

Blood cherry red, kinda dark rose like. Massive herbal kick on the nose; nettles, freshly cut hay, a touch stalky perhaps. Striking. More herbal, slightly green notes on the palate and some noticeable oak. Doesn’t seem under-ripe but there’s not a whole lot of fruit powering the palate – yet. Oak drives the wine, a little too much to my liking, but it’s early days yet, and the house has a decent track record.
