I had this at dinner last night at Punch Lane in Melbourne. The menu and our waiter both said it was a rich full wine, and they were right. I had a duck confit and the Pinot stood up to the earthy flavors with no problem. The reviewer's description below is very accurate. I would give this 4/5 on my personal scale.

Savoury, complex and powerful. Great length, intense fruit character. Refreshing acidity and good tannins. Mouth filling and concentrated, savoury sour cherry and cream notes. Mixed roasted spices, char and earth. A powerful and complex bottle of wine. Ben Knight

My Old Shoebox

I am a technologist, foodie, photographer, gardener, music lover and political junkie.  ​I have always saved ticket stubs, old business cards, doodles and other ephemera in shoe boxes, scrapbooks or desk drawers.  Some things get saved and some are lost over time.  I travel a lot, take many photos and try to keep notes of my experiences, whether interesting meals, great bottles of wine, or cool articles I have read.  This site is my latest attempt to consolidate this content for the entertainment of my friends and family.
