review

This is stunningly beautiful, showing dark cherry, bouquet garni, game and toasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate offers outstanding concentration and plush mouthfeel, superbly enhanced by layers of sensual texture and seductive flavours. Tannins are ultra-fine and in abundance, making it flowing and expansive.

This central Otago Pinot Noir shows lush, dark fruit with bright acidity and silky, lightly firm tannins. Finely structured and broody with a rich tannins and a lengthy finish.

review

There’s no mistaking the variety with this wine, a savoury youthful bouquet with aromas of spiced dark cherries and plums, a layer of gravelly soil and wild red flowers. On the palate a dry wine with an equal savoury intensity and fruit core, then textures from youthful firm tannins and acid line, the fruit easily takes on board the taut youthfulness of the structure. A wine that needs time to settle and develop into its best sense of place and complexity. Best drinking from 2027 through 2035+.
