Note di degustazione
The 2003 Pinot Noir is meatier on the nose with a touch of bacon fat though lacking some vigor, whilst the palate needs more backbone. Located in Gibbston, Central Otago, Mount Edward is the personal project of Alan Brady, a “founding father” of the region having planted the first vines back in 1981. Since Mount Edward debuted with the 1998 vintage, they have sourced grapes from five vineyards (two in Gibbston, three in Lowburn) and of these five they manage three directly, based upon organic principles. Wild yeasts are the priority, the Pinots usually matured in about 35% new oak and approximately 1,500 cases and producer per annum, with the ultimate aim to produce single vineyard bottlings.

Bright crimson, Some mealiness on the nose – and white pepper too. Lots of personality. Full and appealing. Very bright fruit. Lots of acid and tannin. So vibrant it explodes in the mouth. The 2002 is also a great success – quite burgundian and not too alcoholic. Marked acidity too. In a vertical tasting the mature 2000 stood out for me, with violets and mushrooms. (JR)
