I agree, ...Thank you for your interesting comments. I agree, the Pinots from Tasmania are getting better and they are very easy to drink. <br /><br />I will certainly continue to try them. I just think they are a bit too hyped up right now, and the ring around Melbourne is still the best region for outstanding and individualistic Pinot in this country.Alontinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303383808768521404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538446535011951676.post-44100645250952609002009-10-10T17:40:23.080+11:002009-10-10T17:40:23.080+11:00Great blog by the way!

I've been reading some of your older posts and noticed you're not the biggest fan of Tassie pinot.<br /><br />Previously I would've agreed with you (thinking that Tassie pinot was better suited to bubbles), but after the 2007 and 2008 vintages I now feel that Tasmania is now on the verge of much bigger things with pinot noir. What are your opinions?<br /><br />I too have consumed Bay of Fires' Pinot Noirs at tastings and not been overly impressed, but when I started drinking entire bottles at home (2007 and 2005 in particular - must make my way to 2008 soon), I found it was definitely a wine which improved sip by sip, glass by glass. You're right that they're not exceptionally complex or savoury, but they're just so damn delicious!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Chris Plummer<br />Australian Wine JournalChris Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038102858732379506noreply@blogger.com
