Haven't updated here in a while now, but I've been drinking well and Google Keep has been my trusty note-taker. Thought I kick things off with this absolutely killer wine. I know I said that Michael's wine fell victim to the heat of 16' after drinking the vintage's Block 5, but this wine was the total opposite - just brimming with elegance and nerve. Floral, red fruited, spicy, silky, ethereal.
NB: Looking at them both within such a short time frame really paints a wonderful picture of site difference. We all know this, but its nice to be reminded. Both MV6, just from neighbouring vineyards, the OV being a bit older. I guess Michael does say the Block 5 typically needs more time to develop the suppleness of the OV, but the OV's just such a joy to drink atm. Best 16' Pino I've had from Australia so far.
