Tasting Notes - Drummonds Pinot Noir 1990 (Recommended)

Pale, dull blood red; probably looked like this 15 years ago knowing Phillip Jones' winemaking. Aged nose, musty, pongy, but good underlying intensity. Faded fruits in the mouth, some sour notes. Well structured, good acid retention. Clearly was built to last but the fruit was never going to shine after 15 years. Would be great to compare to any of the related Bass Phillip wines at the same age. A great example of how Oz pinot can look respectable after a decade and a half.
