Wijn: Cookoothama – Pinot Noir 2006 – Australië
Was het maar een indruk of had ik een vuil glaa of was het licht te zwak maar was deze wijn ongefilterd?
Ik vond deze wijn ook aangenaam met een zoetje en wat medicinaal (misschien vandaar?) Iets later heb ik het omschreven als menthol of eucalyptus. Dat moet australië zijn
