Takahirok Bedford Estate Pinot Noir 2022, North Canterbury

Bright, fresh, a bouquet with pinosity and a sense of place with a core mineral quality of crushed stones and a lick of limestone then fruit aromas of fresh red cherries and plums then raspberry. Oak has a moment within the bouquet yet fades as the fruit and mineral dominates as the wine opens out in glass. Textured, taut, youthful and dry as the wine touches the palate. Fine tannins, highly polished layer in texture and length, acidity has finesse and crunch while the fruit carries the voice of pinot. A combination of pinosity and texture, harmony between textures and a lengthy finish. Well made with best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.
