Scott Base Pinot Noir 2015 Central Otago
Classic Otago Pinot Noir bouquet with very youthful primary red berry fruits lead by dark cherry and sweet raspberry, very soft sweet herb note with a savoury edge; moderate oak suggestions with some dark spices of cinnamon and clove, overall quite complex. On the palate - juicy, fruity, plush and loaded with flavours of dark cherry and plummy fruit; some sweet vanilla and brown spice layers, finer tannins and plenty of acidity, a lovely example in a drink now or keep style. If you drink now - decant for service; if you keep then make it at least 3-5 yrs.
