Bald Hills Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014, Bannockburn, Central Otago

A striking and seductive bouquet with aromas of ripe, dark red berry fruits, savoury undertones with bracken and dried thyme, toasty wood and clove baking spices. On the palate - equally palate engaging with flavours that reflect the nose - raspberry and dark berries, dried herbs and French barrel. Tannins are firm, acidity - medium+, a youthful, tense and well made wine with a lengthy finish and medium+ complexity. Still coming together so no rush to drink. Decant for service if opening before 2021. Best drinking from 2021 through 2027.
