  Fantastic tasting at Ten Minutes by Tractor, nice little Mornington winery, reminds me a little of Oregon Chardonnay/Pinot Noir, nothing over done, nicely elegant, silky tannins, finely grained structure.
  
  This seem to be fading already which was a little disappointing, a little funky , forest floor, some savoury herbs, slight barnyard notes as well., bottle was fine I just think this was evolving quicker than what they would like, drink up!

  Pours such a light colour for a 13.5% Pinot
  
  Nose: A lovely umami mix. Chinese five spice, wild strawberry, dust and porcini.
  
  Palate: an engrossing mouthfeel. At once both silky and light. A complex interplay of red fruits and spice at first, but then the citrus acidity kicks in, in unison with the umami flavours of mushroom and undergrowth.
  
  The finish is long and the overall impression is of a serious Pinot, beautifully balancing the Pinot noir contradictions.

  Lunch at Wa-I. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, very pale intensity, ruby colour with garnet rim. Legs.
  Nose is clean, pronounced intensiry, with aromas of perfumed red fruits, earth and brackenwood, bit of black cherry and minerals with more air. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), low tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet red cherries, black cherries, loads of earthiness, salty minerality. Medium+ going on to long finish.
  Very good quality. Can develop a bit more over the next few years, but I feel don't age it beyond 4-5 years. Nice drinking as it is now already actually. Nice complex Mornington Pinot.

  delicious - certainly mature and while it is distinctly new world, it is not at all overbearing - lovely
