Tasting Notes - The Cups Estate Pinot Noir 2005

A very different wine from the 2004 I tasted from the same producer. Opaque colour, a spicy, peppery nose. A medium bodied palate with good acidity levels. I tasted some stewed rhubarb fruit but savoury flavours dominated the palate, particularly white pepper with some cedary oak on the finish and a second hit of pepper as an aftertaste. I was undecided if I liked this or not and whether it was varietal enough for me.
