De Bortoli Pinot Noir Yarra Valley 1998

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaBarrel fermented using one-third new, one-third one year old and one-third second year filled barrels. Medium dark colour. Barnyard and toasted oak with spicy, black cherry fruit and just a whiff of forest floor. Richer rounder, mid-palate fruit laced with spices and black cherry but it finished slightly dry. A good effort, which may improve over the next year.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
