Butterworth Estate 'Tactician' Pinot Noir 2020, Martinborough

A rather powerful and distinctive bouquet of Pinot Noir with core aromas of dark cherry and baked strawberry, there are layers of black currant and barrel spices of clove and vanilla, then a toasty quality from soil and oak. Equally impressive on the palate with a firm texture and core fruit flavours touching first, then smoke and barrel spices, a leesy quality then plum and black currant, dark cherry and vanilla. Firm tannins and acidity show that this wine is still developing and settling in. Well made with a lengthy finish, best drinking from 2026 through 2036.
