Palliser Estate Hua Nui Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019, Martinborough
Ripe, fruity, complex, rich in aromas of dark red berries and fine oak with toasty wood spices and sweetness. Pure varietal fruit core with aromas of black cocktail cherry and plum, moments of raspberry and old roses. Equally detailed and complex on the palate with flavours and textures of richness, ripeness and attention to detail in the vineyard. An abundance of fine tannins with acidity to match to carry the flavours of minerality as well as fruit. Toasty barrel and sweet oak flavours add depth and complexity. A delicious wine with power, a core of fruit and lengthy complex finish. It is also young so no rush with best drinking from late 2022 through 2030.
