Folding Hill Cellar Release Pinot Noir 2014, Central Otago

This yet to be released Pinot Noir is fantastic! Tasted over 2 days the wine begins to relax and open out on day 2. Aromas and flavours of savoury plum and cherry, fine dried herbs link to the polished firmish tannins and lively balanced acid line. Flavours of berries and red stone fruits, barrel spices and layered mouthfeel coating the palate front to back are a key feature. As the wine continues to open up and the development of complexities and fruit, baking spices and mouthfeel begin to unfurl I am confident this wine will be even better in 5 if not 10 years from now. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036.
