Akarua Pinot Noir 2023, Bannockburn, Central Otago

A richly coloured appearance with hues of dark ruby red and purple leading to a bouquet of baking spices and earth framing fruits of dark raspberry and black cherry, some black currant and thyme. Youthful, firm, dry, ripe, fruity and varietal with flavours that mirror the bouquet and Otago. Tannins have a nice grip of youth and with the acidity frame the core fruits of dark berries and spice perfectly. Delicious, fresh and ready to drink from day of purchase, though the ideal window is 2027 through 2037.
