DIAMOND VALLEY ESTATE Pinot Noir 1991

A very interesting exercise to drink an Australian pinot noir of this age.
We have a few older pinots. Good brands hopefully the quality and corks are up to the journey.

The wine stood up pretty well, middle red in colour showing some browning from age, brambly red cherry nose developed but still fresh, sweet red fruit and cedar on the front and middle palate sour cherry finish, clean tannins. Its age would surprise.
