Carrick 'The Magnetic' Organic Pinot Noir 2020, Bannockburn, Central Otago

I decided to taste this Pinot Noir over 3 days, when I first tasted it - it seemed closed and unresponsive - now after a few days the bouquet has blossomed into something quite different - floral and fruity, a very mild savoury complexity and generous yet not overdone barrel scents. On the palate, taut, youthful still, dry, savoury and textured. Flavours of fresh red plums and cherry, some red apple skin and dried raspberry moments. Oak delivers flavours, tannins and along with the acidity a decent foundation for ageing. Best with food for now and on its own from 2025 through 2033+.
