Dicey Inlet Pinot Noir 2019, Bannockburn, Central Otago

Fine, complex and varietal with aromas of red berries, plum and wild raspberry, a depth and complexity as well as a core of fruit that has a softness about it before oak spice and dried herb layers through. On the palate - calm, fruit centric palate with contrasting firm-ish tannins then acidity. Dried herb, old barrel spice, bracken, hay and stony mineral are all contrasted by a core of fruit. Youthful needing cellar time, but also drinkable today with the right protein . Best window for drinking is from 2022 through 2028+.
