Villa Maria Taylors Pass Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016, Marlborough

Lovely intensity and allure with an almost beguiling perfume of roses and red berry fruits, a core of minerality and well placed spices of toasty French oak. On the palate - delicious! A lovely expression and balance between fruit, baking spices of wood and minerality. Fine nicely resolved tannins are in abundance adding chalkiness, structure and length. Contrast comes from the core of fruit and acid line. Well made, lengthy, complex and delicious!. best drinking from today and through 2024.
