2004 Paul Lato Pinot Noir Duende (Gold Coast SMV)
I am a huge fan of the 03 so I was looking forward to trying this one. Still bouncing around in its youth but enjoyable. Certainly lacks some of the finesse that the 03 showed but it does have a nice balance of fruit and acidity. Big tart red fruits and some citrus. The tartness has some sweetness but it is not cloying. Wouldn’t pick this to be one to hold on to for a long time but it is need of 6-18 months. Another nice wine from Paul Lato. 88-89 pts.
