2012 Moorooduc Estate The Moorooduc McIntyre Mornington Peninsula Australia Pinot Noir
14.0% alc.. Established in 1982 by
Richard and Jill McIntyre. A selection of the best clones in the home
vineyard. Only made in years when the fruit is of high enough quality to
represent the pinnacle of quality from Moorooduc Estate and Richard
McIntyre’s skills. Assistant winemaker is Jeremy Maygar.
·
Moderately
light garnet color in the glass. Appealing aromas of raspberry, plum,
underbrush, spice and iron, becoming more effusive over time in the
glass. Plenty of spicy and very ripe raspberry flavor picks up intensity
over time. The fruit is wrapped in fine-grain tannins and backed by lively
acidity. An earthy, iron flavor riff adds interest.
Score: 91.

·
Medium reddish-purple color in the
glass. Black cherries and black raspberries are featured on the nose and palate in an intense, concentrated
style. A hint of spice and a handle of oak accent the juicy fruit. The tannins are well-behaved, the acidity is
balanced, and the wine sails along at the finish with plenty of fruit intensity.
Score: 89.
