Forrest St Laurent 2022, Marlborough

Very attractive bouquet of light red through darker berry fruit scents. Black currant and raspberry, very Pinot Noir-esq with red flowers and mushroom, some fleshy summer berry qualities and moderate impact of barrel from vanilla to cinnamon. Clean, refreshing and dry as the wine touches the palate, the tannins are smooth and dissolve into the palate seamlessly, acidity adds a contrasting freshness and carries the red berry flavours evenly through the palate. I find this wine an easy drinking style and while it is dry on the finish there are layers of red berry fruits and a touch of wood spice for contact, texture and length. Drinkable on its own or with food, best drinking from 2024 through 2029.
