About Me
- DermotMW
- Dublin, Ireland
- Hi, I'm Dermot Nolan, and I became a Master of Wine (MW) in 1997, and resigned from the Institute of Masters of Wine in 2023 after being an MW for exactly 26 years. I opened a wine shop in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland, called The Wine Library, which closed in 2018, and this is my personal wine blog. I will do my utmost to be fair and responsible in my posts – please read my Who Pays article in re the ethics of wine trips and writing. I have worked in wine education, retail, and consultancy since 1990. I was a Director of the Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW) from 2008 to 2014 and was also a member of the Events Committee, founder of the Trips Committee, and member of the Governance Committee. Having had problems with potentially libellous comments from unidentifiable posters, I now require that if you post a comment, you must identify yourself properly or it won't be published. Please note that I do not review products or services on request so kindly don't ask. I value my independence and I believe my readers (few that they may be) do so also.

New Zealand spice
Well, I tried another birthday wine last night - the Mountford Estate Pinot Noir 2004 from Waipara in New Zealand. A lovely light ruby to garnet colour, with quite a ripe fruity nose but with hints f pepper spice, and a smooth palate with supple tannins, ripe dark berry fruit and supple acidity all well-balanced. Some cherry fruits as well and overall a lovely, smooth and elegant wine. Thanks Michael!
