Lindemans - Pinot Noir (2008 - bin 99)

I've had a few aged wines but this is by far the best one.  Which is awesome cuz it only cost $7.  Down a point for using a cork though.  Usually the Oceania wines use a screw top which is more reliable and convenient.

This wine has mild to medium tannins depending on your taste, no noticeable alcohol flavor, and is primarily dry (with a hint of sweetness).  For me this is a nice foundation, and on top of that there's a moderate dark fruit taste, with a strong but still mellow rusty/spicy finish.

Excellent value for the money.

I'd give it 5/4 but I don't go that high, and I'm a little biased because of the price.

4/4 stars.





you can easily see the rust red color indicating that the wine has been aged
