Pinot Noir from New Zealand - Central Otago & Waitaki
Review Date : 30-Sep-2022
Deep ruby-red colour with a black hue, even colour throughout. This has a perfumed bouquet, penetrating black fruit, floral dark herbs and spice. Medium-bodied, black cherry and blackberry aromas have a savoury, earthy tone, unfolding broody, rich herbs, cinnamon bark and black pepper. The wine shows savoury, earthy development, complexed with the broody dark fruit and herb quality. The fine-grained tannin structure provides a light grip reflecting spices. This savoury Pinot Noir shows generous, broody dark fruit and herbs, earthy development and a fine tannin grip. Match with lamb rump and wild boar over the next 3-4 years. 18/20 pts (90 pts) Sep 2022 RRP $40
