Mission Estate Barrique Reserve Pinot Noir 2019, Marlborough
Complex, soft, varietal and enticing bouquet with aromas of sweet red cherry and plum, floral with scents of roses and red blossoms then darker spices of toasty oak and wood smoke. On the palate - fruity, fresh, varietal and dry with flavours that reflect the nose - berries and wood spices. Firm tannins and medium+ acidity, nice tension and poise with a core of pinosity. Youthful, fresh and well made. best drinking from late 2021 through 2027+.
