Lake Chalice The Raptor Pinot Noir 2022, Marlborough
Varietal and new, floral and fruity, aromas of fresh red cherry and raspberry flesh, vanilla spikes and toasty wood scents add complexity and depth, while aromas of stone, clay and fine lees layer in breadth. Youthful, plush textures from fine tannins and crispness from the acid line set the foundation in place for the new primary fruit flavours to settle into. There’s some chalkiness to the tannins and genuine bite from the acid line. Flavours of red berries and flowers are persistent and fresh. Best drinking form mid to late 2024 through 2028+.
