Mt Difficulty Pipeclay Terrace Pinot Noir 2009

“A powerful, lush Central Otago red with densely packed, cherryish, plummy flavours, spicy and long. It is grown on a steep, relatively hot slope at Bannockburn, with bony, gravelly soils. The full-coloured 2009 () was matured for 14 months in French oak barriques. Deep in colour, with an intensely floral bouquet, it is still a baby – fresh and youthful, with impressive weight and very strong, vibrant plum, cherry and spice flavours. Crying out for cellaring, it is richly scented and built to last, with a real sense of ‘brooding’ potential.”
