Quartz Reef 'Billie Jean' Royal Series Pinot Noir 2019, Bendigo, Central Otago

I suggest you taste this wine over 2 days - it begins to show its true potential after around 24 hours open. Aromas and flavours of dark cherry and dried raspberry, a spiced plum flesh and spices of the forest and barrel. There’s a fine savoury quality and core earth and mineral statement. The texture on the palate is what I notice first with coarse silk tannins and a saline refreshing acid line, barrel spice and earth smoke layer in complexity. A delicious and engaging example with a core pinosity and loud heartbeat for the variety. A voice of Bendigo and Otago captured. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2030+.
