2010 William Downie Pinot Noir Mornington Peninsulamore |
12/25/2023 - mattscellar wrote: 91 pointsDecanted for 30mins. Tart and high acid - though slightly less than the WD Gippsland tasted night before; enjoyable, unless you prefer low acid; yet to reach its peak. Tasted alongside the Yabby Lake Vineyard Block 6 which showed slightly above on the night. Depth and complexity lacking for a higher score |
