2002 Providence "Miguet" Reserve Pinot Noir


Magnum $120.00
Pinot Noir grown at Providence Vineyards and made by Andrew Hood. 10 months ageing in Seguin Moreau French oak barriques. 13.5% alc/vol
 
Ageing Potential:
2012
 
Tasting Notes:
Not every year at Providence is a "Reserve" year, but 2002 certainly was, although perhaps one of the most difficult seasons we have experienced. To get truly evenly ripe fruit we were forced to discard over 75% of the crop. Descibed by James Halliday as "Classic, tangy, smoky sous bois aromas, plum and hints of sour cherries; long and lingering finish. Stylish." This wine was listed in James Halliday's "Best of the Best" in his 2005 Wine Companion.Has been a runner up in the last two Australian Pinot Challenges.
 
Food Suggestions:
Wallaby steaks (Lenah Game & Gourmet "Bennets", of course!) can be added to ocean run trout, Atlantic salmon, veal, lamb, pasta and soft cheeses

Ageing Potential:
2016
 
Tasting Notes:
I have often remarked to Peter about the spicy overlay that seems to be a feature of all his Pinots. This is not a criticism, it is a fine example of a multidimensional wine. Add to this a lovely cherry dark plum fruit structure, some hints of forest floor and violets, a lovely mouth feel and a medium finish.
 
Food Suggestions:
Serve with veal, lamb, pasta and soft cheeses.

2004 Providence CRV Pinot Noir

Ageing Potential:

Tasting Notes:
Typically fruit driven as all our pinots are this one exhibits more of the forest floor, earthy nose more common to Pinot. The addition of the other wines has made this wine more spicy and a little drier on the back palate than the straight 04
 
Food Suggestions:
A great food wine which enhances the flavours within the wine and food. Atlantic salmon, pasta dishes, rabbit and duck
