  {screwcap, 12%} As dull and uninspiring as a mediocre Pommard. Little nose (not over-oaked though). The barest of dusty fruit, never quite green, but never generous either (and look at that alcohol level). Minimal dusty tannin, unobtrusive acidity. Just so dilute, and not from over-cropping. They may be MV6 grapes, and from one of the oldest pinot vineyards in Oz, but terriorists would say it's just in the wrong place, I suspect. You could keep this, sure, but why would you bother?

  Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 12%, A$48} MV6 clone pinot planted in 1921 in the Estate vineyard; claimed by Mount Pleasant to be the oldest pinot vines in the country. More Hunter than obviously pinot; earthy, burgundian; spiced red fruits, but more dirt and acid, with medium gritty tannins. Medium-bodied, with a medium-length finish. One for the structuralists. Ought to work in the medium term.
