Escarpment Te Rehua Pinot Noir 2020, Martinborough

Varietal, youthful and enticing bouquet with a savoury then floral then fruity expression with aromas of dried herb and mineral then dark cherry and red berry fruits. Aromas of oak and barrel spices are noted yet somewhat quiet until the wine opens up and becomes ambient. Taut and youthful on the palate with flavours of darker berries and plums then spice. Firmish youthful tannins and noticeable acidity show that this wine needs time to settle in. Core fruit flavours reflect the bouquet and the pinosity message is strong leadning to a lengthy finish. A lovely wine needing more time to develop complexity and harmony. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2030.
