Mt Difficulty Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010
Mt Difficulty Central Otago Pinot Noir 2010
check out our video review

A warm, low-yielding vintage has produced a Pinot Noir displaying ripeness concentration and balance; dark fruits of the forest dominate the aroma and these are underpinned by lifted florals and black cherry, balanced with sweet aromatic spice notes. The wine has a ripe concentrated front palate, which displays these same characters in abundance. The mid palate is fleshy and well textured, and the wine finishes with a combination of ripe, fine-grained tannin, fruit and acidity.

 Mt Difficulty Estate Pinot Noir will improve for 7-10 years given optimal vintage and cellaring conditions.

    Try "Roaring Meg" insead, same label...better price - better wine. I thought this wine was interesting on the nose, but I got loast with where this was trying to take me with slightly overpowering leather & fruit not really integrating.

    Not surprised Parker might rate this. I reckon the Mt Difficulty guys may have gone a little over-the-top with their 2008 wines. After 2007's fantastic vintage, I found this disappointing. One exception - the 2008 Roaring Meg "2nd label" is a cracker - a much better drink.
