Babich Winemakers' Reserve Pinot Noir 2019, Marlborough
An enticing complex bouquet with a fruit and oak centric drive. Aromas of dark cherries and black currant, violets and mineral then baking spices of oak with vanilla and some clove, cedar and wood smoke. Youthful, enticing and complex. Fruit and wood flavours repeat on the palate with firm tanins and acidity layering in texture and youthful drive. Some tautness and plenty of frehness means this wine will enjoy some more cellar time, but also offers early drinking with fine cuisine. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030.
