Mondillo Pinot Noir 2009

The 2008 wine won the Royal Easter Show champion wine of the show. This years wine displays everything that I feel is bad about Central Otago Pinot Noir. There is an abundance of over ripe sweet fruit that hides the true expression of the grape. A dollop of oak and over extraction make this a very disappointing Pinot Noir. It lacks typicity of the Pinot grape, lacks femininity and poise, structure and texture.
