Tasting Notes - Provenance Pinot Gris 2006

This wine built a reputation back in 2002 and 2003 as a leading Victorian Pinot Gris and certainly the best from Geelong (and perhaps outside of Mornington). However, in our humble view, the wine hasn't quite hit its straps in the last few years. The 2006 is no disappointment but ~$29 at retail (at least) certainly has it asking questions of its opposition. On this value / price ratio the wine fails.Sweetish nose with faint musk traits. Simple palate structure driven by a one dimensional flavour profile that is maybe best described as a ripe 'dry white' style. Certaintly has some weight, with a little heat, and whilst fair to the style, doesn't really aspire to build any complexity.
