Dicey Black Rabbit Pinot Noir 2021, Bannockburn, Central Otago

Excellent colour and presentation equaled by a bouquet of black cherry , dark spices of clove, new leather and violet. There’s texture in the bouquet also with a sense of shape and form. A taut, intense and complex wine touches the palate first, textures from the bouquet are apparent quickly with polished tannins, course-silk tannins and plenty of acidity. Core fruit and barrel flavours reflect the bouquet as well with dark berries and spice messages, toasty wood layers and a generous engaging mouthfeel. There’s some warmth from the alcohol, so I suggest you serve the wine at cellar temperature of 12.5 Celsius. Delicious and lengthy, a lovely wine with best drinking from 2025 through 2030++.
