Domaine Thomson Rows 76-89 Pinot Noir 2018, Central Otago

This wine is made with a single clone of Pinot Noir called 10/5. The aromas and flavours reflect the clone as well as that of the variety and pinosity. Soft and plush, fruity and varietal, red cherry and red apple skin, moments of strawberry and fresh red plum. A layer of French oak sounds a voice with baling spice and a touch of wood smoke. On the palate there’s a freshness and supple hit from the fruit, then a savoury layer emerges with dried herbs and youthful energy. Dry, taut, firm tannins and plenty of acidity sets a decent foundation for the fruit to rest within. Well made and quite new still, a wine that is likely best drinking from late 2025 through 2030+
