Black Quail Estate Pinot Noir 2018, Central Otago
Complex, ripe, fruity and varietal bouquet with aromas of wild red flowers and stony mineral scents, cherries and red apple with a touch of sour raspberry, barrel spice and some toasty wood scents adding complexity and intrigue. On the palate - youthful with palate tension from chalky tannins and acidity. A contrasting core of fruit reflects the bouquet with flavours of red berries and red apple. There’s a lovely sweet spot mid palate before the youthful side of the wine re-engages. Well made and needing some cellar time to complete the it harmonisation. Best drinking from mid to late 2022 through 2028+.
