Bindi Block 5 Pinot Noir 2008

The other night I went to a blind tasting with all wines yielding from the 2008 vintage and of the noble grape variety, Pinot Noir.  All wines were tasted before each identity was revealed.

A little bit of a muddled nose with very ripe notes of plum jam and meat are evident as the wine sits in the glass.  There are some lovely cooler elements that come through on the good length palate.  I had in my notes Victoria Pinot around the $40 so I was surprised to see that this was the Big Bindi.  This has already hit its peak so open it whenever you want. You could wait until Christmas comes to drink it with family and friends.
