Chard Farm "the Tiger' Pinot Noir 2021, Lowburn, Central Otago
Immediately a Pinot Noir of power and presence, subtlety and complexity. Ripe red berry fruit scents and dried herbs, pressed old rose florals and a mineral baseline that in turn frames the spices and mild toastiness of oak. A dry wine touches the palate with an immediate sense of place and power, velvet tannins and a backbone of acidity. Raspberry and red cherry dried red fruits and mineral then baking spices of barrel and a subtle toastiness. Well made, youthful, a wine with finesse and texture, pinosity and charm. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036.
