January 6, 2019 - Had a glass over lunch at the estate. Fairly rich and ripe, and hence not necessarily my prefererred style of Pinot but I liked this for what it is. Tannins are much smoother and better integrated than the Long Gully

December 27, 2018 - During a cellar door visit. A bit all over the place. First in the nose on the ripe side with cooked fruit, then on the palate with bitter finish and drying tannins. Felt pushed. Overall the visit to Mt.Difficulty was underwhelming, especially after the great wines from Felton Road.
