Pegasus Bay Aged Release Pinot Noir 2012, Waipara Valley

The core appearance includes hues of ruby and garnet, the surface is bright with a slightly fading rim. Aromas include fresh and dried cherry, a touch of dried raspberry, strawberry, some plum then oak spices of cinnamon and clove then a touch of cardamom and nut. An integrated and complex bouquet with scents of autumn leaves and mineral. Complex and dry on the palate with autumn flavours that reflect the bouquet, fine intergrating tannins and decent backbone of acidity still in play. A very good echo of the vintage and producer, well made and still developing. Best drinking from 2022 through 2028+.
