Black Quail Pinot Noir 2021, Central Otago
Fantastic bouquet, precise and layered, aromas of savoury spiced red berries, cherry and boysenberry, then scents of crumbled stony soils and barrel spices. As the open opens out the bouquet expands to usher in scents of sage and wild thyme, wild forest berries and the sweet scents of French oak. Delicious on the palate, complex and dry, flavours reflect all that bouquet suggested wrapped in textures of polished tannins and medium+ acidity, layers of sweet French oak barrel flavours and a taut youthful squeeze. Nothing is too much for the palate to manage. Well made, lengthy and complex. Best drinking from 2026 through 2036. Outstanding value!
