Yearing Station 2001 Pinot Oct 04

 

Light bouquet showing strawberry, cherry and mushroom with a little Pinot pong on the tail. With more then enough smooth, dusty tannins to hold the wine together, the consistency is firm but the structure is short. Flavour profile is "interesting" with both sweet and bitter characters but I am not sure about the ripeness, there seems to be a little unripe grape character or possibly it is new vines showing itself. On the positive side of the ledger, the wine has reasonable intensity and persistence. It is a lean wine with a firm consistency, and diverse complexity. Rated as Agreeable with ** for value.
