Purple Hen, Clonal Selection Pinot Noir 2008, South Gippsland ($30)

Strawberry colours on pouring, and indeed initially on the nose. The bouquest evolved a lot over time with the simple strawberry giving way to funkier forest aromas. This was reflected in the taste which after a couple of hours had an almost sparkling darkness to it. this wine will polarise opinion. I found it an unusual and interesting wine. Pat not so.
