Neck of the Woods Pinot Noir 2017, Central Otago

Neck-of-the-woods-Pinot-Noir.png

A totally enticing bouquet of Pinot Noir with aromas of brown baking spices and warm dark red cherry, whispers of wild thyme and stony soil, toasty wood with clove and vanilla, a seam of dark rose and violet throughout. On the palate – fantastic! Flavours of dark cherry, raspberry and dark red currant then dried herb and dry stone mineral layered throughout. Youthful chalky textured tannins and acidity to match – both suggesting an unfiltered fine dusty layer. Balanced and well made, but also youthful and still yet to reach total harmony. Decant for service with best drinking from late 2020 through 2025.
