Tasting:

She said: Translucent with numerous very thin zippy legs. The slightly chilled wine had moderately intense aroma with sweaty horse dominating. Light body, with slightly thin fruit flavors with a mustiness mixed in. The aromas and flavors increased as the wine warmed up. The finish was dry, flavorful and long. Excellent pairing with the pork medallions and a great buy! Tasty and well balanced, the wine delivered and was an excellent accompaniment to the dinner and good sipping after the dinner . It was more like a French Pinot Noir than other Australian Pinot’s we have tasted.
Comments: Purchased from a Sidney, Australia wine shop and consumed in the Britannia Restaurant on board the Cunard Queen Mary 2.
