Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2021

Truly impressive wine with a profound smell that features a concentrated strawberry and earthy forest floor presence, paired by light raspberry jam and a warm vanilla and clove spice profile. The subtlest wisp of mushroom and stalky character adds depth, whereas the medium-bodied backbone is flawlessly cohesive by a bracing acidity. The wine's length is impressive, with a contenting fruitiness that persists on the palate. The finale is long and engaging, with a subtle tobacco and spice nuance that rounds out the experience. Overall, a truly outstanding wine that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.

Full bodied and full-bodied wine with a dense red color, its nose is marked by the aromas of fresh cherry and strawberry, with a wisp of sharp acidity. The intricacy of the wine is a major selling point, uniquely for those who appreciate the nuances of Oregon pinot noir. A high score of 91 points is well-deserved for this impressive wine.

Disappointing experience, lacking density and warmth. The fruit hints and spice were elusive, leaving a bland and uninviting taste. A lackluster effort, with a flavor profile that fails to impress.
