Chard Farm The Tiger Pinot Noir 2018, Central Otago
Needs some time to open up in glass - and when it does - reveals aromas of red berries and a soft savoury core, red apple, sweet cranberry and a blossoming red floral layer. Complexity increases as the open becomes ambient. On the palate - fresh, bright, youthful and dry. Flavours of red cherry and red apple, roses and a continuing soft savoury core. Fine tannins and medium+ acidity. Youthful, balanced and well made with a deceptively long finish. Best drinking from today and through 2025+.
