Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Pinot noir. 13.5%. Diam. Approx $A65Image: Wine bottle with freshly prepared but unproven pizza dough.
I wish I could remember exactly its sibling, the Kooyong Ferrous tasted like, instead I must rely on a two month old tasting note for reconstruction and comparison. My earlier note suggests the Meres is a slightly less complex wine. On opening there is a flood of stewed cherries, though in time there is more earth, spice and minced meat. In the mouth it is like sucking on cherry pips - such is the combination of intensity and sourness.
Very very good.

I think you have the wrong wine
Bettina,
Thank you.
It's the right wine, just clumsy wording, which I've hopefully corrected now.
I was trying to compare this with it's sibling - the Kooyong Ferrous.
I have always thought that the Ferrous and Meres are the Michael Jackson/Diana Ross of the wine world - very hard to tell apart.

Tim,
Excellent analogy. Where does the the Haven fit in :)
bubbles the monkey perhaps.
I should not say that, I know few people that work down at Kooyong. I think that the Meres and Haven are more similar than the Ferrous, which seems to take a bit more time to open up
