Best's Great Western, Pinot Meunier, Grampians

Gifted from the family cellar, this bottle unlabelled but wax sealed and caked in dust. Fortunate enough to have this special birth year vintage of this same wine twice now. And looking back at my previous note, this is pretty similar. Brown colour, no redness left, just a very faint orange. Transparent, very light, almost looks like a rosé. Heaps of sediment. Unlike my last bottle which was shared among 4 people and consumed fairly quickly, this was given a …

Lots of fine sediment decanted through a filter. A very interesting wine with strange savoury meaty notes to the aroma, and a real length of flavour that goes beyond fruit and oak and acid... a great integration and harmony to the flavour with notes of pepper, quince, liquorice and orange peel. Still barely enough acidity to be enjoyable with light food. Bought from the cellar door in Great Western.
