Light bodied ruby colour 13% alc with good nose of berry flavours, great integrated tannins and good balance of fruit and acidity with quite a long lingering finish
We are fortunate that Australia is flanked by NZ and South Africa and all three have great Pinots that can stand tall with the wines of Burgundy at very affordable price points π€ β 2 months ago
Better than 2018, the 2017 is pure savoury meaty spice. This could pass as a serious burgundy. Light but powerful, mushroom funkiness, bright cherry. High acidity, med fine grained tannin, and very long. Fresh and alive. Reverberatesβ¦.but also serious?? β a month ago

Savory, elegant style #centralotago #pinotnoir. Spiced cherry, cranberry sauce, faintly smoky-earthy notes. Tart cherry and cranberry, spicy finish trailing with close-grained tannins. β 3 months ago
Brief notes. Barb said sour cherry. My initial impressions - dried herbs, dried red cherry and black plum. Quite a big Pinot Noir. One could say a Shiraz drinkers Pinot, but itβs better than that and gives the wrong connotation. Have my next one in late 2025. As I have said in prior notes it lacks nuance. β a month ago
This is the third bottle each two years apart and this opened very nicely after about an hour or so
Iβve increasingly liked this wine although given it the same rating
Itβs well structured aromatic and just an all round good expression of well made Central Otago Pinot
Probably open the next three each with a year or less further age β 2 months ago
