Well with high expectations riding on this tasting I was a little taken back to discover that someone had scrumped my fruit and forest floor and any character that may have been there.
The tasting was conducted as part of our TV series on You Tube when we recorded the last 5 episodes in a day. Now everyone is riding the Grand National winner that is Central Otago Pinot Noir but this one had no jockey on it giving it any direction.
If this wine were a rock star/celebrity it would have to be Courtney Love. Full of promise but always disappointing in reality.
The wine in question Olssens 'Slapjack Creek' Reserve Pinot Noir.
What is does have is a bright dark cherry complexion and then it is just like any other 35-40 dollar Central Otago Pinot.
WVR 84 points, RRP $69.99
