Pegasus Bay Aged Release Pinot Noir 2013, Waipara Valley, Canterbury

A youthful bright appearance with a core of ruby leading to a just fading rim. Aromas of primary red berry fruits including dark cherry and plums, plenty of barrel spice and bottle development complexities. The beginnings of secondary aromas with a whisper of date and toasty spices layer in complexity and depth. Still youthful and firm on the palate with textures from tannins and acidy leading the mouthfeel. Core fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with equal impressions of plums and cherry. An excellent example, just a little bit dry though easily marries with gently salty earthy food. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029+.
