Alexander Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020, Martinborough
Dark core of ruby and purple with a pink hued rim. Aromas of very dark berries and black currant, toasty spices of barrel, quite earthy and mineral centric with stony silty soil scents. Complex and engaging. On the palate - very youthful with power, concentration, flavour and texture. Boysenberry, black currant and dark plum flavours surrounded by firm tannins, oak and acid-line, each adding power, texture and mouthfeel. This wine will become something special if allowed to mature and integrate in your cellar. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029+. I hope the taste this wine again in 12 months time to check its progress.
