2004 El Nino (Massoni) Mt Eliza Estate Pinot Noir

Tuesday night dinner, Brooke (Gritty's female offspring) provided this speculator. Great colour, dark crimson brown. Nose is obviously spice driven with a hint of cherry. To taste, it's smooth, red fruit almost strawberry flavour with great length with a vanilla oak finish. This wine is a hidden gem, not obviously Massoni labelled, but obviously Massoni made with quality fruit that stands the tests of time. 87/100 almost 88. And here is the kicker, this wine cost $10 from Purple Palate on Duporth. I would buy this wine again and again at this price.
