 Pinot Noir on the veranda at Picardy 2005 Picardy Pinot NoirPrior to the 2005 vintage, Bill and Sandra went to Burgundy and learnt a new technique which has further improved the texture and structure of the Picardy Pinots. Bill and Dan believe that this is by far the best vintage for Pinot Noir at Picardy to date. The 2005 is a rich full bodied Pinot reminiscent of the 2003 vintage with the structure of the 1999. The nose has enticing cedar, strawberry and mulberry aromas with a hint of new leather and toasted oak. The palate is refined with red currant, cherry, mushroom nuances and a tell-tale lingering savoury finish. This wine is silky smooth while the structure is tight with nicely balanced tannins, ensuring a long cellar life. This would be a fine accompaniment to lamb, veal, poultry or even salmon. This wine has been selected by Qantas for service in Business Class. Please order early to avoid disappointment as there is a very limited quantity of this wine.
