Jacobs creek - Pinot Noir - 2010 - Australia

Here we have a Pinot Noir from acclaimed makers,  Jacobs Creek. Made in 2010, this is a year or two younger than other wines tested on this blog. As I poured the glass and swirled it, I was suprised at how light it is compared to a shiraz or a merlot, and it's alcohol  b eing at 12.5%, i was completely sure what to expect.

It has quite a complicated flavour. It has very delicate no4tes of cherries and strawberries - and I thopught quite plummy also. But certainly not as strong as a richer shiraz or cabernet. On tasting, I got the same subtlties as I did whilst smelling. It was a skew with mild under currents of fruit and berries, and also very subtle flavours of plum (I can't let the plum thing go).

6.5/10 - i wasn't bowled away with how delicatge this wine was. Certainly very good, but a bit to brittle in the flavour department.
