Calvert Pinot Noir 2018, Bannockburn, Central Otago

Brand new to the market this youthful, savoury, ripe and very expressive wine showcases aromas of dried raspberry, dark red apple skin and cherry; there’s a fine wild-dried-herb savoury core then spicy oak and sweet toasty wood flavours. Tense, youthful and dry with firm chalky tannins and acidity to match. Additional flavours of dried flowers and a strong seam of crushed stone minerality emerge after twenty minutes in glass. Still on its journey to full harmony. Best drinking from 2021 through 2027+
