Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2012, Lake Wanaka, Central Otago

Elegant, charming, enticing and fine complex bouquet. Bottle age has been a great friend to this expression - still showing primary fruits and integrating oak along with a youthful vibrato, but also showing complexity and intrigue that can only come from quality fruit and winemaking that reflects a time and place. A seamless transition onto the palate with dark red berry fruit flavours, baking spices and a core of minerality. Tannins are still firm and integrating, acidity still keeping the palate fresh and tasting youthful. A lovely wine. Take confidence knowing this wine will continue to age in your cellar for some time yet. Best drinking from purchase and through 2028+.
