Drummond Farm Back Block Pinot Noir 2017, Martinborough
Unique bouquet of Pinot Noir with a spice, seasoned barrel and old rose aroma package. On the palate - dry and textured with flavours of macerated cherry and dried apple skin, old roses and fallen autumn leaves. There’s a tea and barrel flavour combination suggesting an old English brew with a French barrel-aged flavours. Firm tannins and medium acid-line. Overall a wine that is ready to enjoy with food. Best upon purchase and through 2022.
This wine is un-fined and unfiltered so there is a white smoke look to the appearance - all good.
