One Bunch Pinot 2010 Update
We popped a bottle of 2010 Pinot this weekend, just to see how it was travelling. I think we are on track for a mid/late Spring release! The wine still has a few edges to it, which should at least start rounding off by then, but with a decant, the 2010 smartened up nicely!
Of course being a Tassie wine, theres's plenty of fruit, but I was interested to pick up a bit of bacon in there as well. I hope the gamey, funky character carries through with time.
The wine definitely appreciated being run through a Vinturi. Similarly, we left half the bottle to try the following night, and again this evening, and it has carried itself well. I think decanting the 2010 for up to an hour before drinking will pay dividends.
It will definitely work in restaurants as a 'by the glass' wine.

Grace's 6th Birthday!
And what a day for the adults it was! I can't remember what happened as far as party things go, but for the mums and dads a nice local cheese platter went really well with a raft of wines -
Tamar Ridge 2006 Kayena Vineyard Riesling - oh the kerosene characters! divine...
Holyman 2003 Chardonnay - like the Riesling, had lovely age character. Both these wine still have lovely acid and were by no means done! They would have held on for a good while yet.
Two bottles of Heathcote Estate 2008 Shiraz - Both lovely and still young. The second bottle we put through a Vinturi Aerator and it made such a difference!
Plantagenet 2007 Shiraz - again, the vinturi added an extra thrill to an already enjoyable drop.
Yep, the way birthday parties should be!
