Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2004

Apr 27, 2008 1 Replies

Opened this yesterday, after a night with good friends, because Xina and self wanted just another glass before shuteye. Uncertain if we obtained in Systembolaget (the Swedish monopoly) or Kjaer og Sommerfeldt. Nose slightly funky, bit of leather, red berries, could just pass for a Bourgogne ... On palate quite different, nice refreshing acidity, spiciness, acceptable length. A certain smokiness, and, thanks to the things that go bump in the night, no RS. Nor has it been maltreated with oak. Manages to be on the one hand obviously PN, on the other, just as obviously, not Bourgogne. Go, kiwis, go. Cheers Nils



I've seen this locally (unsure vintage), but at $30ish I haven't bitten. Thanks for notes,
