Central Otago Pinot Noir

Excellent vintage
Complex and enticing bouquet, layers of mineral and crush rock scents sit between aromas of fresh red berries and plums, a very fine savoury seam and quiet layers of French oak with baking spice and light toaty quality. New, fresh, taut, fruity and dry on the palate. Flavours mirror the bouquet, but for the moment the intensity and drive comes from tannins and acidity - not too much mind - the fruit does coat the palate nicely. A wine that is brand new and needs some time to settle and dvelop. Best drinking from mid 2023 through 2030+.
