2019 Mount Mary Pinot Noir
Other Reviews....
The light ruby hue belies the whorl of intense flavour. Pretty aromatics. It bursts out with raspberries and cherries, then richer strawberry compote infused with bitter herbs, cloves and sarsaparilla. French oak is neatly tucked away, but acts as a support, while superfine tannins glide across a lighter- to medium-bodied frame. A beautiful and beguiling wine. Drink by 2035.

From a strong vintage, this has trademark earthy aromas, as well as blueberries, forest wood and some sappy red cherries. The palate has a very composed, layered and long band of ripe, fine tannin, supported by fresh acidity that elevates the blueberry, cherry and red-plum flavors. These pinots look best after a few years in bottle, so try from 2024.

The flavour profile of this wine is just made for Peking duck, is the first thing that comes in to my head. And now I’ve made myself quite hungry, though luckily, I will be having a bit of duck for tea today. Duck ragu, in fact, ordered from Dear Sainte Eloise.
All the squishy red fruits, five spice, with something of an autumnal character here too. It’s medium-bodied, sweet uptake of poached red fruits and cherry, but fresh with it, and the tannin is sure-footed with an emery board feel, the finish sweet, long, and supple. Quite forward in a way, but very charming.
