East Meets West by Maude Pinot Noir 2023, Central Otago

Varietal, fruity, taut and dry. Aromas and flavours of spiced red cherries and raspberry, there’s red licorice note and fine savoury core. Dry with firm, yet polished tannins, plenty of acidity drives through the fruit flavours and accentuates the tannins. Great phenolics, mouthfeel and finish with a cola qulity, velvet touch and lengthy, dry finish. A wine to watch. Best from 2027 through 2035++.
