Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir 2006

I bought a couple bottles of this Yarra Valley Pinot 2 years ago and had one bottle a month ago. Forgetting that I had it recently, I opened my last bottle prematurely today - it had a good few more years in it. To avoid another such incident I decide to log my wine drinking here.

Appearance: Clear, medium, garnet in colour.
Nose: Clean, medium intensity, immediate cherry nose followed by plum and mild sweet spices. As the wine opens the spices dissappear to a mild oak nose.
Palate: Off-dry to medium, medium acidity, fine medium tannins. Nicely balanced acid and tannins complemented with cherry and slight blueberry flavours. Medium body with a medium cherry finish.
