Askerne Pinot Noir 2018, Hawkes Bay

Attractive bouquet, varietal with aromas of red cherries and berries, layers of brown wood spices and soft smoky oak, crushed dry stone earthy scents and a drift of red rose. On the palate - delicious! Flavours reflect the nose with a firm energy and vibrancy from finely tuned chalky tannins, medium+ acidity and a core of fruit with dark cherry, some plum and black currant. Balanced, well made, a decent complexity and focus. Best drinking from today and through 2024+.
